Table 2.

Interpretative criteria.

D	Suitability for identification	Identification	Interpretation
0.0 ≤ D ≤ 0.41	High	The identification result within this range is the Candida isolate*	completely matched the Candida species registered in the database to the base sequence level
0.41 < D	Medium to Low	The identification result with the lowest D is highly likely to be the Candida isolate	Mutant strain, polymicrobial infection, or not registered in the database

D, difference value.

*C. lusitaniae and C. glabrata are narrowed down as pathogen, but cannot be distinguished using the D value only. In this case, it is easy to distinguish them by checking the difference in their Tm values already obtained, which are apparently different (Table S4).
