This report describes a new, modified, simple, and cost-effective method for the use of CHROMagar Candida (CHROMagar Company, Paris, France) for the presumptive identification of isolates as Candida albicans after preliminary growth. Sixty randomly selected clinical isolates were evaluated, including 38 of C. albicans. With incubation at 37 degrees C for 24 h, the sensitivity and specificity appeared to be excellent and the test performed better than the traditional germ tube test. However, at earlier times, C. tropicalis isolates gave false-positive results.
本报告描述了一种新的、改良的、简单且经济高效的方法,用于在初步培养后使用科玛嘉念珠菌显色培养基(法国巴黎科玛嘉公司)对分离株进行白色念珠菌的初步鉴定。对60株随机选择的临床分离株进行了评估,其中包括38株白色念珠菌。在37℃孵育24小时后,其敏感性和特异性似乎极佳,且该检测方法比传统的芽管试验表现更好。然而,在更早的时间点,热带念珠菌分离株会给出假阳性结果。
