Presumptive identification of Candida kefyr on levine formulation of eosin methylene blue agar.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three hundred thirty-one yeast and yeast-like isolates were cultivated on eosin methylene blue agar. While the sensitivity rate for Candida kefyr isolates producing a metallic green sheen was 81.8%, the high positive predictive value (100%) for yeast isolates with this phenotype belonging to C. kefyr suggests that these isolates can be presumptively identified as C. kefyr.

Evaluation of the etest method using Mueller-Hinton agar with glucose and methylene blue for determining amphotericin B MICs for 4,936 clinical isolates of Candida species.
The performance of the Etest using Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with glucose (2%) and methylene blue (0.5 microg/ml) (MH-GMB) for amphotericin B susceptibility testing of 4,936 isolates of Candida spp. was assessed against that of Etest using RPMI agar with 2% glucose (RPG). MICs were determined by Etest in both media for all 4,936 isolates and were read after incubation for 48 h at 35 degr...

Escherich originally observed the occurrence of two tj'pes of lactose-fermenting intestinal bacteria which are widely distributed in water and soil. One type Bact. coli was chiefly an inhabitant of the mammalian intestines and was thus regarded as the ' microbe of indication ' of fa3cal pollution of water and the other type Bact. cerogenes was rare in human faeces but constituted the predominat...

Introduction: Oral Candidiasis is the most common lesion in Immuno compromised patients. Using antifungal drugs are routine treatment for this condition. The aim of this study was incorporating photodynamic therapy with low level laser (685 nm), in presence of 2 dyes (methylene blue and tolidine blue), as a photosensitizer on C. albilcans, C. glabrata. C. krusie and C.tropicalis. Methods...
