Evaluation of Candida ID, a new chromogenic medium for fungal isolation and preliminary identification of some yeast species

H Fricker-Hidalgo et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Candida ID, a new chromogenic medium, allows identification of Candida albicans (blue colonies) and preliminary identification into a group of four species (pink colonies). In comparison with Albicans ID2 and Sabouraud gentamicin chloramphenicol on 446 fungal strains, Candida ID allowed the isolation of more species than Albicans ID 2 (95.5% versus 91.2%).
