The utility of xylose-based agar medium for differentiation of Candida dubliniensis from Candida albicans is evaluated. All C. dubliniensis isolates failed to grow on this medium, while C. albicans isolates yielded good growth. This simple in-house medium offers an inexpensive alternative to commercial yeast identification systems for resource poor settings.
评估了木糖琼脂培养基在区分杜布酵母菌和白假丝酵母菌中的效用。所有杜布酵母菌分离株均无法在该培养基上生长,而白假丝酵母菌分离株则生长良好。这种简单的内部培养基为资源匮乏环境提供了一种廉价的替代商用酵母鉴定系统的方法。
