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%).
