Identification of clinical yeasts by Vitek MS system compared with API ID 32 C

Abstract: We performed a clinical evaluation of the Vitek MS matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system with the commercial database version 2.0 for rapid identification of medically important yeasts as compared with the conventional phenotypic method API ID 32 C. We tested 161 clinical isolates, nine isolates from culture collections and five reference strains. In case of discrepant results or no identification with one or both methods, molecular identification te… Show more

“…Conventional identification of yeast is based on morphology and biochemical tests using its ability to metabolize different sugars and related compounds. Such methods take approximately 24‐72 hours and often fail to accurately identify emerging or cryptic species . Molecular identification by sequencing of genomic regions is considered a standard method for identifying yeast to the species level .…”

“…However, molecular identification remains expensive, time‐consuming, and relatively labor‐intensive to perform in clinical microbiology laboratories . Due to the above limitations, the introduction of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) has been currently in the spotlight and has greatly improved the routine identification of yeast as well as bacteria at species level in the last few years . There are three commercially available MALDI‐TOF MS systems, the Microflex Biotyper (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany), the VITEK MS (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France), and the Andromas (Andromas, Paris, France) .…”
