Modified Pagano Levin medium to isolate Candida species.
The use of Pagano Levin medium for primary isolation of Candida species from highly contaminated specimens proved unsatisfactory owing to overgrowth by bacteria and fungi. Addition of cycloheximide and chloramphenicol to the medium greatly improved results by inhibiting overgrowth. The additional inhibitors also altered rate of growth and degree of pigmentation reported for some of the Candida ...
متن کاملPagano-Levin Candida test medium: evaluation using vaginal samples.
Since 1958 pagano-Levin medium (PLM) has been used as an aid in the identification of Candida albicans. However, no statistical analysis of its effectiveness based on large number of random human specimens has been reported. The present study compared PLM (now called Candida test) with Sabouraud's plus antimicrobials and Littman's ox-gall agar without antimicrobials. Of 500 random vaginal sampl...
متن کاملComparison of Sabouraud dextrose and Pagano-Levin agar media for detection and isolation of yeasts from oral samples.
The sensitivities of Sabouraud dextrose agar and modified Pagano-Levin agar for the primary isolation of yeasts and the recovery of multiple yeast species from single clinical samples were compared by using oral-rinse samples. Although there was a highly significant positive correlation between the numbers of yeasts recovered from both media, modified Pagano-Levin agar was far superior in detec...
متن کاملModified Littman oxgall agar to isolate Cryptococcus neoformans.
Littman Oxgall Agar was modified by adding an extract of Guizotia abyssinica seeds with a water diluent for rehydration. In this medium, colonies of Cryptococcus neoformans became brown, but the color failed to develop in eight other yeasts and yeast phases of diphasic organisms. The depression of saprophytic fungi noted on Littman Oxgall Agar was not lost in the modification.
متن کاملA modified precipitation method to isolate urinary exosomes.
Identification of biomarkers that allow early detection of kidney diseases in urine and plasma has been an area of active interest for several years. Urinary exosome vesicles, 40-100 nm in size, are released into the urine under normal conditions by cells from all nephron segments and may contain protein, mRNA and microRNA representative of their cell type of origin. Under conditions of renal d...
