Pathogenic yeasts, such as those in the Candida genus, may cause serious infection, especially in immunocompromised patients, and can be a source of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI). Preventing the spread of these pathogens is therefore important for better patient care and cost control in the healthcare setting. Convenient and safe VITEK® 2 ID cards are self-contained, disposable cards designed to be used with the VITEK®2 family of instruments. The VITEK®2 YST ID card offers rapid and accurate identification of a broad range of pathogenic yeasts.
