Abstract

Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that has been systematically incorrectly identified by phenotypic methods in clinical microbiology laboratories. The Vitek 2 automated identification system (bioMérieux) recently included C. auris in its database (version 8.01). We evaluated the performance of the Vitek 2 YST ID card to identify C. auris and related species.
