The tetrazolium medium described is easily prepared and serves as a rapid, relatively accurate and simple means of differentiating Candida species, particularly C. albicans, from other yeasts. Culture on this medium does not replace other techniques used for yeast identification. No one test alone will suffice and final identification must rest on an overall pattern of characteristics. In the screening of 1,822 yeast isolates in this laboratory, culture on this medium has proved a valuable adjunct to other recognized techniques, and is now in regular use.
所述的四氮唑培养基易于制备，是一种快速、相对准确且简单的方法，可用于区分念珠菌属，特别是白色念珠菌与其他酵母。在此培养基上培养并不能替代用于酵母鉴定的其他技术。没有任何一项单独的测试能够充分完成鉴定，最终鉴定必须基于整体的特征模式。在本实验室对1822株酵母分离株的筛选中，在此培养基上培养已证明是其他公认技术的宝贵辅助手段，并且目前正在常规使用。
