PT Yeast Master List Instructions
The master list is intended to guide participating laboratories on the scope of Mycology (Limited) Proficiency Testing Program. This list is meant to illustrate acceptable identification and the test grading policies. It does not include every yeast that you may encounter in your laboratory. These guidelines supercede any previous instructions for reporting yeast.
A complete answer will include name of the genus and species, when both genus and species are listed e.g. Candida lambica, or Candida krusei. Any answer that shows "sp." is not acceptable.
- The yeast master list is also available as an Adobe pdf file - ( 8k).
