Characterisation of pathogenic species of Candida by gas chromatography: preliminary findings

Journal of Medical Microbiology
P M LateganJ C Du Preez

Abstract

The volatile substances produced and utilised by some species of Candida isolated from man, were determined in two cultural conditions by gas chromatography. It was possible to characterise Candida krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. albicans and C. guilliermondii, but more species and isolates would have to be studied for conclusive results.
