The Vitek 2 system was compared with conventional assimilation, fermentation and morphological methods for its ability to identify yeast isolates from among 151 clinical specimens and 16 known type culture or quality control strains. An unequivocal identification was obtained for 155 (92.8%) isolates, with low discrimination for nine (5.4%) and false identification for three (1.8%) isolates. All isolates of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida krusei were identified correctly. It was concluded that the Vitek 2 system offers an excellent alternative for the identification of yeasts in a clinical laboratory.
