Performance of the Albicans ID2 FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò /FONT> chromogenic medium for rapid identification of Candida albicans

The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of the chromogenic media Albicans ID2 FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò /FONT> (bioMérieux, France) for the identification of Candida albicans among 330 yeast strains. All C. albicans (100) and C. dubliniensis (20) strains exhibited blue color when cultured on Albicans ID2 FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò /FONT>. However, the blue color was also exhibited by cultures of C. rugosa (30/30) and C. tropicalis (3/50) isolates.

O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do meio cromogênico Albicans ID2 FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò /FONT> (bioMérieux, France) na identificação de Candida albicans entre 330 amostras de leveduras. As cepas de C. albicans (100) e C. dubliniensis (20) exibiram coloração azul quando semeadas em Albicans ID2 FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò /FONT>. Contudo, a coloração azul também foi verificada em culturas de C. rugosa (30/30) e C. tropicalis (3/50).
