Modified Pagano Levin medium to isolate Candida species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 species.

Pagano-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 کاملEvaluation of CHROMagar Candida for rapid screening of clinical specimens for Candida species.
CHROMagar Candida is a new differential culture medium that allows selective isolation of yeasts and simultaneously identifies colonies of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei. We evaluated this medium and compared it with a reference medium, Sabouraud glucose agar, for the presumptive identification of yeast species isolated directly on the medium from 1150...
