Isolation and identification of yeasts and yeastlike organisms from clinical veterinary sources.

ABSTRACT

A total of 229 isolates of yeasts and yeastlike organisms recovered from a variety of clinical specimens were identified by using the API 20C microsystem in conjunction with morphological characteristics and urea hydrolysis. Of the 229, 218 (95.1%) were from bovine, porcine, canine, and equine species and the remaining 11 (4.9%) were from feline and avian species. The gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts were the major sources of yeasts and yeastlike organisms, representing 60 (26.2%) and 28 (12.2%) isolates, respectively.
