Comparison of chromogenic and fluorogenic membrane filtration methods for detection of four Candida species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CHROMagar Candida medium was inoculated with a variety of clinical samples (n = 282) by using membrane filtration instead of swabbing or streaking. This modified CHROMagar procedure increased the ability to detect yeast by 16.7%. Compared to an enzymatic two-step membrane filtration method with fluorogenic substrates, it yielded similar recovery but was slower.

Rapid detection of the most important pathogenic microorganisms in water and Food by (Chromogenic media)
Abstract Background and Objectives: Chromogenic media are the newest methods applied for rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms in drinking water and food from 1998-2008. These Specific media contained the compounds acting as a substrate for microbial enzymes and, according to the type of enzyme, produce specific color. The aim of this study was to introduce the chromogenic media as a pow...
متن کاملMembrane filtration test for rapid presumptive differentiation of four Candida species.
A rapid enzymatic two-step test for the presumptive differentiation of four Candida species commonly occurring in various clinical samples is described. The technique involves membrane filtration of a liquid sample, followed by preincubation of the membrane filter on Sabouraud glucose agar supplemented with ticarcillin-clavulanic acid to yield microcolonies. In a separate assay step, parts of t...

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 کاملComparison of cell wall proteins in putative Candida albicans & Candida dubliniensis by using modified staining method & SDSPAGE
Background: Candida species are among the most common causes of opportunistic fungal diseases. Among Candida species, Candida albicans is responsible for most infections. Having many strains, C. albicans is very polymorph. C. dubliniensis is very similar to albicans species both morphologically and physiologically. For an infection to occur, cell wall proteins play an important role as they en...
متن کاملEvaluation of Candida ID, a new chromogenic medium for fungal isolation and preliminary identification of some yeast species.
Candida ID, a new chromogenic medium, allows identification of Candida albicans (blue colonies) and preliminary identification into a group of four species (pink colonies). In comparison with Albicans ID2 and Sabouraud gentamicin chloramphenicol on 446 fungal strains, Candida ID allowed the isolation of more species than Albicans ID 2 (95.5% versus 91.2%).
