Abstrakt: ABSTRACTWe developed a simple method for the identification ofCandida glabrataon the basis of the ability of this species to rapidly assimilate trehalose but not sucrose. After incubation of yeasts with Rosco diagnostic tablets containing sucrose or trehalose, identification ofC. glabratawas achieved in 4 h with 100% sensitivity and specificity.
