Abstract

ABSTRACT We report on five clinical isolates routinely identified as Candida lusitaniae that the ID 32C system was unable to discriminate from the closely related species Candida pulcherrima . When additional tests did not allow accurate identification, the less usual mating type test identified all of them as Clavispora lusitaniae . Mating type testing appears to be a valuable tool for assessing the true incidence of this emerging non- albicans Candida species.
