  • Title: Prevalence of Candida dubliniensis among the stored vaginal Candida isolates in a Turkish hospital.
    Author: Acikgoz ZC, Sancak B, Gamberzade S, Misirlioglu M.
    Journal: Mycoses; 2004 Oct; 47(9-10):393-6. PubMed ID: 15504122.
    Abstract:
    In this study, 600 stored Candida species, isolated from vaginal samples of immunocompetent women, and phenotypically identified as C. albicans on the basis of a positive germ tube test, were screened for the presence of C. dubliniensis by three phenotypical methods. Only one strain (0.17%) failed to grow at 45 degrees C, and produced abundant chlamydospores on both the cornmeal-Tween 80 agar and the Staib agar. This strain was identified as C. dubliniensis by using the ID-32C kit (bioMerieux Vitek) and confirmed by DNA sequencing of internal transcript spacer (ITS) region.
