API Candida was evaluated in comparison with the ID 32C system for the identification of 619 yeast isolates. The sensitivity of API Candida for the identification of the 15 species it claims to identify with and without additional tests was 97.4% (593 of 609) and 75.2% (458 of 609), respectively. The API Candida system is easy to use and rapid (result in 18 to 24 h).
