Identificación de Cryptococcus sp., mediante el Auxonograma modificado por Araujo

Abstract: Identification of 43 C. neoformans isolates from human sources were performed using the Beijerinck auxonogram method modified by Araujo and the MicroScan® DADE BEHRING automatic test. Identification of the isolates was achieved reliably by both tests. Therefore the Araujo Auxonogram method...

Description
Summary:Abstract: Identification of 43 C. neoformans isolates from human sources were performed using the Beijerinck auxonogram method modified by Araujo and the MicroScan® DADE BEHRING automatic test. Identification of the isolates was achieved reliably by both tests. Therefore the Araujo Auxonogram method may be applied in small laboratories with limited resources as an inexpensive, simple and reliable method. Resumen: Se identificaron 43 cepas de C. neoformans, mediante el uso de la prueba de auxonograma utilizando la técnica de Araujo, la cual es una modificación del método de Beijerinck. Los resultados obtenidos con esta técnica fueron similares a lo observado con la identificación automatizada con el MicroScan® DADE BEHRING. Los datos demostrados nos permiten afirmar que la técnica evaluada es efectiva, poco costosa y fácil de utilizar en un laboratorio de pocos recursos.
