A total of twenty strains of Candida albicans isolated from chronic pulmonary lesions were subjected to serotyping procedure adopting the conventional agglutination reactions. Prior to serotyping all the twenty strains were isolated on at least three different occasions and were identified by the standard accepted criteria (germ tube production, colony morphology on cornmeal Tween 80 agar and sugar fermentation reactions). Of the twenty strains, four strains belonged to serotype B and the remaining sixteen had the agglutination profile consistent with serotype A. The serotyping was undertaken with locally raised antisera against serotype A and serotype B. The proposed serotyping procedure has a definite potential in the epidemiological investigations of Candida albincans.
从慢性肺部病变中分离出的总共20株白色念珠菌采用传统凝集反应进行血清分型。在进行血清分型之前，这20株菌株均至少在三个不同的时间点进行了分离，并根据公认的标准（芽管形成、在玉米粉吐温80琼脂上的菌落形态以及糖发酵反应）进行了鉴定。在这20株菌株中，4株属于B血清型，其余16株的凝集谱与A血清型一致。血清分型采用本地制备的针对A血清型和B血清型的抗血清进行。所提出的血清分型方法在白色念珠菌的流行病学调查中具有一定的潜力。
