A técnica da espectroscopia infravermelha por transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) vem sendo largamente empregada como uma abordagem rápida e simples para a identificação de microrganismos, incluindo a do gênero Candida. A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar o emprego da microespectroscopia FT-IR na identificação e discriminação de 5 cepas clínicas de Candida albicans e 3 de Candida glabrata, as quais foram identificadas previamente por meio de métodos convencionais, e mais duas cepas ATCC de cada espécie. As amostras foram analisadas em triplicata, a partir de culturas independentes, por meio de filmes finos obtidos da suspensão em solução salina estéril a 0,85% da biomassa da colônia que ficou incubada por 24 horas em placas com ágar Saboraud Dextrose. Dez espectros com 32 varreduras foram obtidos na forma de ponto em 10 regiões selecionadas aleatoriamente nas amostras. A média foi obtida dos dez espectros de cada amostra para a análise estatística multivariada, dada pela análise de cluster. Além disso os espectros foram transformados em primeira derivada e três janelas espectrais foram determinadas (900-1250 cm-1, 1300-1600 cm-1, 2800-3000 cm-1). A representação dos resultados foi dada pela construção de um dendograma. Nesse, foi possível separar em dois grupos distintos as duas espécies de Candida estudadas. Dessa forma, pode-se concluir que a microespectroscopia FT-IR foi capaz de identificar e discriminar cepas clínicas de Candida albicans e de Candida glabrata, sendo um método promissor para identificação de leveduras
The technique of infrared spectroscopy Fourier transform (FT-IR) has been widely used as a new approach for rapid identification and simple micro-organisms, including the genus Candida. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of FT-IR microspectroscopy for the identification and discrimination of 5 clinical strains of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata 3, which were previously identified by conventional methods, and two-standard strains of each species. The samples were analyzed in triplicate from independent cultures by means of thin films obtained from a suspension in sterile saline and 0.85% of the biomass of the colony that was incubated for 24 hours in Sabouraud dextrose agar plates. Ten spectra with 32 scans were obtained in 10 randomly selected regions in the samples.The average of ten spectra was obtained from each sample for the multivariate analysis, given by cluster analysis. In addition, three windows were determined spectral (900-1250 cm-1, 1300-1600 cm-1, 2800-3000 cm-1) and the spectra were transformed into first derivative. The representation of the results was given by the construction of a dendrogram. In this, we separated into two groups of two Candida species studied. Thus, one can conclude that the FT-IR microspectroscopy was able to identify and distinguish clinical isolates of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata is an important method for identification of yeasts
