ABSTRACT
The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of the chromogenic media Albicans ID2omicron (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 ID2omicron. However, the blue color was also exhibited by cultures of C. rugosa (30/30) and C. tropicalis (3/50) isolates.
RESUMO
O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do meio cromogênico Albicans ID2ômicron (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 ID2ômicron. Contudo, a coloração azul também foi verificada em culturas de C. rugosa (30/30) e C. tropicalis (3/50).
