Candida glabrata is an emergent pathogen with diminished susceptibility to azoles, thus a rapid identification of this yeast could be of help to choose the appropriate treatment. GLABRATA RTT (Fumouze Diagnostics, France) is a new C. glabrata identification test. To evaluate its utility in the clinical laboratory daily routine, we prospectively tested 168 yeasts isolated in our hospital. GLABRATA RTT results had a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 100%. The combination of CHROMagar Candida isolation medium and GLABRATA RTT test allowed the identification of the four most common species in the clinical practice (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei and C. glabrata).
