G. Quindos et al., EVALUATION OF BICHRO-LATEX ALBICANS, A NEW METHOD FOR RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDA-ALBICANS, Journal of clinical microbiology, 35(5), 1997, pp. 1263-1265
A method for identification of Candidia albicans within 5 min was eval
uated by using 4,643 yeast isolates. Six false-positive and three fals
e-negative reactions were observed. The specificity (99.87%) and sensi
tivity (99.74%) obtained indicate that the Bichro-latex albicans test
is a useful method for the rapid identification of C. albicans colonie
