Mario Tumbarello,Brunella Posteraro,Enrico Maria Trecarichi,Barbara Fiori,Marianna Rossi,Rosaria Porta,Katleen de Gaetano Donati,Marilena La Sorda,Teresa Spanu,Giovanni Fadda,Roberto Cauda,Maurizio Sanguinetti +11 more
TL;DR: Together with well-established factors, Candida biofilm production was shown to be associated with greater mortality of patients with candidemia, probably by preventing complete organism eradication from the blood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of VITEK 2 and RapID Yeast Plus Systems for Yeast Species Identification: Experience at a Large Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
Maurizio Sanguinetti,Rosaria Porta,Michela Sali,Marilena La Sorda,Giovanni Pecorini,Giovanni Fadda,Brunella Posteraro +6 more
TL;DR: A total of 750 clinical yeast isolates were evaluated by two identification systems, VITEK 2 and RapID Yeast Plus, using sequence analysis of the rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer regions as the reference method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci by Using the BD Phoenix System in the Low-Inoculum Mode
Gioconda Brigante,Maria Grazia Menozzi,Beatrice Pini,Rosaria Porta,Pietro Somenzi,A. Sciacca,Teresa Spanu,Stefania Stefani +7 more
TL;DR: The new “low-inoculum” mode of the Phoenix system was evaluated to identify clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci and accuracy was satisfactory for StAPHylococcus epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, and S. haemolyticus.
