LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--T2 Biosystems, a company developing direct detection products enabling superior diagnostics, today announced that collaborators from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy have published data demonstrating that T2Candida® identifies species-specific Candida in approximately three hours compared with an average of 2.6 days for blood culture to become positive, which is the current gold standard. After a blood culture becomes positive, it still requires further analysis to identify the specific species detected, which may add another day before providing an informed diagnosis. T2Candida is T2 Bio’s rapid and highly sensitive test for the identification of five species of Candida directly from whole blood with limits of detection as low as 1 CFU/mL. The data were published online today in Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease.
