Strains of Candida albicans can be differentiated by the morphological features of streak colonies developed on malt agar. A morphotyping system is proposed, where numerical codes are assigned primarily on the basis of the nature and extent of marginal fringing and the surface topography of the streak colony. The system allows ready differentiation to be made of morphotypes, requires no specialized equipment or expertise and provides a simple and reproducible means for epidemiological studies of candida and candidosis.
白色念珠菌菌株可通过在麦芽琼脂上形成的划线菌落的形态特征进行区分。本文提出了一种形态分型系统，主要根据边缘流苏的性质和程度以及划线菌落的表面形貌来赋予数字编码。该系统能够轻松区分形态型，无需专门设备或专业知识，为念珠菌和念珠菌病的流行病学研究提供了一种简单且可重复的方法。
