. Results for Candida group and Candida glabrata
and Candida krusei targets (species not differentiated) were assessed relative to yeast
culture followed by mass spectrometry for species identification. Trichomonas vaginalis
(TV) results were compared relative to a composite method that included results from
the BDVP and InPouch TV culture. The investigational test demonstrated high positive
percent agreement ranging from 93.6 to 99.0%, and negative percent agreement ranging from 92.1% to 99.8% for both CVS and SVS specimens, indicating it may be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of vaginitis/vaginosis in laboratory and POC settings.
