Abstract
We compared the Auxacolor yeast identification system (Sanofi Diagnost ics Pasteur) with the API 20C Aux (bioMerieux-Vitek) using 105 isolate s of medically important yeasts. The Auxacolor system provided more ra pid, accurate results and displayed less interobserver variability tha n the API 20C Aus.
