One-hundred and twenty persons were screened for the presence of Candida in the mouth. Salivary samples were cultured on Sabouraud's agar, on yeast extract, and on Microstix. Microstix is a new and simple method testing for Candida. The reliability of the strip for detecting clinically identified candidiasis in severely ill patients was 100 per cent. Of ninety-three clinically healthy controls, forty-five were found to be Candida carriers according to the two conventional methods (Sabouraud's agar and yeast extract), but only forty-one of them by the strip. The discrepancy might be explained by the limit of the sensitivity of the strip (5.10(2) yeast per milliliter). The strip is recommended for testing clinically suspected candidiasis and is very useful for screening.
对120人进行口腔念珠菌检测。唾液样本在沙氏琼脂、酵母提取物和微棒上培养。微棒是一种检测念珠菌的新的简易方法。该试纸条检测重症患者临床确诊念珠菌病的可靠性为100%。在93名临床健康对照者中，根据两种传统方法（沙氏琼脂和酵母提取物），有45人被发现为念珠菌携带者，但通过试纸条检测仅发现41人。这种差异可能是由于试纸条灵敏度的限制（每毫升5×10²个酵母菌）。推荐使用该试纸条检测临床疑似念珠菌病，对筛查非常有用。
