Monomicrobial discrepancies between conventional ID and probe matrix ID
| Specimen no. | Conventional ID | Probe matrix ID | Comment(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 52 | Corynebacterium sp. | Staphylococcus, not S. aureus | Conventional ID based on colony and Gram stain morphology |
| 62 | C. albicans | Fungi, not C. albicans | Germ tube positive, chlamydospores and blastoconidia in clusters, API ID = C. albicans |
| 201 | C. parapsilosis | Fungi, not C. albicans; Staphylococcus, not S. aureus | Probe result repeated with archived specimens |
| 242 | Corynebacterium sp. | Gram-positive (low G+C), not Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, S. pneumoniae, or Actinomycetes | Conventional ID based on colony and Gram stain morphology |
| 265 | C. albicans | Fungi, Not C. albicans | Not viable at time of reevaluation |
