| Abstract: | The VITEK 2 system was evaluated for the identification of 74 Trichosporon invasive and non-invasive clinical isolates, comparing its results with the IGS1 sequencing. The system correctly identified Trichosporon asahii but not non-T. asahii isolates, which represented nearly 50% of the invasive infections in our nosocomial setting. |
