Performance of the Albicans ID2Ò chromogenic medium for rapid identification of Candida albicans
The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of the chromogenic media Albicans ID2<FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò</FONT> (bioMérieux, France) for the identification of Candida albicans among 330 yeast strains. All C. albicans (100) and C. dubliniensis (20) strains exhibited blue color when cultured on Albicans ID2<FONT FACE=Symbol>Ò</FONT>. However, the blue color was also exhibited by cultures of C. rugosa (30/30) and C. tropicalis (3/50) isolates.
