Abstract

The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of the chromogenic media Albicans ID2 (R) (bioMerieux, 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 ID (R). However, the blue color was also exhibited by cultures of C. rugosa (30/30) and C. tropicalis (3/50) isolates.
