We developed the simple, rapid (1 h), and accurate PNA FISHFlow method for the identification ofCandida albicans . The method exploits unique in solution in situ hybridization conditions under which the cells are simultaneously fixed and hybridized. This method facilitates the accurate identification of clinical yeast isolates using two scoring techniques: flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.
