J. Lopez et al., Rapid identification of Candida glabrata based on trehalose and sucrose assimilation using Rosco diagnostic tablets, J CLIN MICR, 39(3), 2001, pp. 1172-1174
We developed a simple method for the identification of Candida glabrata on
the basis of the ability of this species to rapidly assimilate trehalose bu
t not sucrose. After incubation of yeasts with Rosco diagnostic tablets con
taining sucrose or trehalose, identification of C. glabrata was achieved in
4 h with 100% sensitivity and specificity.
