Abstract

Descriptive and illustrative material in several recent diagnostic manuals for medical mycology are unclear with respect to proper designation of germ tubes formed by Candida albicans. Because of the increasing significance of this and other yeast species in human disease, mycologists should be aware that germ tubes, unlike buds or pseudohyphae, do not have constrictions at the point of origin. Light and scanning electron micrographs are presented to emphasize this diagnostic characteristic.

摘要

几本近期的医学真菌学诊断手册中的描述性和说明性材料，在白色念珠菌形成的芽管的正确命名方面并不明确。由于这种及其他酵母菌种在人类疾病中的重要性日益增加，真菌学家应该意识到，芽管与芽或假菌丝不同，在起源点没有缢缩。本文提供了光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜照片以强调这一诊断特征。
