Description

• BBL™ CHROMagar™ Candida Medium is a selective and differential medium for the isolation of fungi.
• With the inclusion of chromogenic substrates in the medium, the colonies of C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusei produce different colors, thus allowing the direct detection of these yeast species on the isolation plate.
  • Colonies of C. albicans appear light to medium green.
  • C. tropicalis colonies appear blue-greenish to metallic-blue.
  • C. krusei colonies appear light rose with a whitish border.
  • Other yeast species may develop either their natural color (cream) or appear rose or light to dark mauve.
• An additional advantage of the medium is the easy detection of mixed yeast cultures due to their colony appearance in different colors.
