چکیده
A modified auxanographic carbohydrate assimilation procedure for the identification of medically important yeasts is described. This method employs a heavy inoculum of unstarved yeasts, autoclaved yeast assimilation medium, pour plates of shallow depth, and commercially available carbohydrate-impregnated disks. The accuracy of this procedure was established in a comparison with the Wickerham broth method.

Identification of yeast species in the oral cavity of Iranian soldiers by disk diffusion method
Abstract Background: The disk diffusion method for identification of yeasts species was performed based on different but distinct susceptibilities of yeasts spp. to chemicals: janus green, ethidium bromide, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, brilliant green, cycloheximide and rhodamine 6G. Methods: Atotal of 568 Iranian soldiers went under study for isolation and identification of Yeast spec...
متن کاملDetermination of carbon assimilation patterns of yeasts by replica plating.
For the differentiation of species of yeasts, considerable value is attached to the ability of aimilating various carbon sources for growth. Beijerinck (1889) introduced for this general purpose the auxanographic plate technique which was adapted by Lodder (1934) for the study of sugar assimilation in the nonfermenting strains of the asporogenous yeasts. Diddens and Lodder (1942) expanded its u...

The present study is designed to evaluate the application of a simple method for rapid identification of Malassezia furfur among other Malassezia spp. based on production of a brownish-red pigment and its diffusion into the medium containing L-tryptophan as a sigle source of nitrogen. 91 strains of Malassezia (20% M. furfur, 2% M. sympodialis, 5% M. obtosa and 73% M. globosa) isolated from ski...
متن کاملشناسایی و تعیین فراوانی گونه های کاندیدا جدا شده از بیماران به روش کروم آگار کاندیدا
Introduction & Objective: Candida species can cause opportunistic infections in human. Although Candida albicans is major pathogenic species, non-albicans species of Candida such as C. glabrata , C. tropicalis and C. krusei have been increasingly reported. Identification of Candida species is essential for effective antifungal therapy and for infection control purposes. In the present study the...
متن کاملMolecular identification and antifungal susceptibility of Candida albicans isolated from Vulvovaginitis Candidiasis
Vulvovaginal candidiasis is caused by the increasing number of Candida species as normal flora in the vagina. To assess the transmission rout as well as to determine the suitable antifungal drugs for treatment, the exact identification of Candida species is crucial. Therefore, earlier detection of infection allows quick initiation of antifungal therapy with a greater probability for improved su...
