Rapid selective urease test for presumptive identification of Cryptococcus neoformans.

ABSTRACT

A rapid simplified screening method that selectively detected the urease activity of 99.6% of 286 isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans within 15 min was developed for use in clinical microbiology laboratories.
