Candida
For the acceleration and labor-saving of inspections!
We propose the enzyme substrate medium "Chromagar Candida," which can differentiate the three main pathogenic species of the Candida genus (C. albicans; green, C. tropicalis; dark blue with a blue halo, C. krusei; pink rough type) based on colony color and morphology. This medium can also be used for color differentiation of other frequently isolated species, such as C. glabrata (purple) and C. parapsilosis (cream color). The ability to differentiate and isolate major Candida species by color is considered highly useful for successful treatment of fungal infections, taking into account that 1) there are differences in susceptibility to antifungal agents depending on the species, and 2) mixed infections by multiple fungi are not uncommon, especially in immunocompromised cases. We also offer "Chromoslant Candida Color," which is a slant medium version of this medium. Additionally, since filamentous fungi are also targets in fungal testing, we provide "Chromagar Candida / Potato Dextrose Differential Medium," which is suitable for morphological observation of filamentous fungi using potato dextrose agar. For serological diagnosis of candidiasis, we offer the "Chica Fungi Test Candida."
