Abstract

A new CHROMagar selective medium (Becton Dickinson) was tested. Strains of Candida species isolated after 48 hours were identified by specific dying of the colonies on the selective medium. The inoculation data were verified by filamentation and fermentation tests. No differences were found. Together with the most frequently isolated species C. albicans, in 20% of the cases we found C. glabrata considered recently as a cause of the recurrent vaginal candidosis with ketoconazole and 5-flucytosine resistant strains.
