Production of chlamydospores on casein agar at 24 degrees C for 48 h provides a simple means for differentiating Candida dubliniensis from Candida albicans based on chlamydospore production. Of 109 C. dubliniensis isolates tested on this medium, 106 (97.2%) produced abundant chlamydospores and three produced few chlamydospores. In contrast, of the 120 C. albicans isolates tested, 111 (92.5%) failed to produce any chlamydospores, whereas the remaining nine isolates produced few chlamydospores. These findings indicate that abundant chlamydospore production on casein agar is a useful test for discriminating between C. dubliniensis and C. albicans.
在24摄氏度下于酪蛋白琼脂上培养48小时产生厚垣孢子，为基于厚垣孢子产生情况区分都柏林念珠菌和白色念珠菌提供了一种简单方法。在该培养基上测试的109株都柏林念珠菌分离株中，106株（97.2%）产生了大量厚垣孢子，3株产生的厚垣孢子较少。相比之下，在测试的120株白色念珠菌分离株中，111株（92.5%）未产生任何厚垣孢子，其余9株产生的厚垣孢子较少。这些发现表明，在酪蛋白琼脂上大量产生厚垣孢子是区分都柏林念珠菌和白色念珠菌的一项有用检测方法。
