The distribution of different Candida species and different serogroups of C. albicans have been analysed. C. albicans is by far the most predominant species isolated from all clinical specimens. Group A of C. albicans was isolated 10 times more frequently than group B strains from patients who had respiratory infection and 4.4 times more frequently from those who had other clinical conditions. However, both serogroups were isolated at comparable frequencies from the genitals. In the instances where repeated isolation were made, colonization by one serogroup often occurs to the exclusion of the other serogroup and species. Thus, it was frequently observed that individual patients often gave repeated isolation of one serogroup of C. albicans only. These findings are of obvious diagnostic relevance and may facilitate the evaluation of possible clinical significance of laboratory studies.
已对不同念珠菌属以及白色念珠菌不同血清型的分布情况进行了分析。白色念珠菌是目前从所有临床标本中分离出的最主要菌种。在患有呼吸道感染的患者中，A组白色念珠菌的分离频率比B组菌株高10倍，在患有其他临床病症的患者中则高4.4倍。然而，从生殖器部位分离出的这两种血清型的频率相当。在进行重复分离的情况下，往往会出现一个血清型的定植而排斥另一个血清型和菌种。因此，经常观察到个体患者通常仅反复分离出一种血清型的白色念珠菌。这些发现具有明显的诊断意义，可能有助于评估实验室研究的潜在临床意义。
