title: [Evaluation of the API20C AUX system for the identification of clinically important yeasts].
abstract: Fifty yeasts belonging to the genera Candida, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula and Trichosporon were identified by classical methods and by the API 20C AUX system. The commercial system correctly identified 92% of the species, with the need for additional tests in 16% of cases. The results were interpreted with good, very good and excellent identification.
