Candida auris (C. auris) is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast and an important healthcare-associated pathogen worldwide. Its ability to persist on environmental surfaces and spread within healthcare environments makes C. auris an important target for research and surveillance.
Traditional culture-based methods for C. auris detection may require 2-3 days or longer to generate results. Rapid molecular detection offers a streamlined approach for research studies, surveillance activities, and investigations of C. auris prevalence and distribution.
Credo Diagnostics Biomedical developed the VitaSIRO solo™ C. auris Assay for use on the VitaSIRO solo™ platform, providing a streamlined molecular testing workflow with results available in approximately 40 minutes.

VitaSIRO solo™ – Molecular Testing at Your Fingertips.
The VitaSIRO solo™ C. auris Assay enables rapid real-time PCR detection of C. auris for research and surveillance applications. The assay incorporates an internal control to monitor assay performance and test validity, while utilizes lyophilized reagents to simplify storage and streamline the testing workflow.
Designed for swab specimens collected from the axilla, groin, and nasal sites using ESwab® collection and transport media. The assay delivers molecular results in approximately 40 minutes through a simple “sample in, result out” workflow. The rapid workflow is designed to support on-site research and surveillance activities, including studies of C. auris prevalence, distribution, and detection within healthcare environments.
