Pagano-Levin Candida test medium: evaluation using vaginal samples.
Since 1958 pagano-Levin medium (PLM) has been used as an aid in the identification of Candida albicans. However, no statistical analysis of its effectiveness based on large number of random human specimens has been reported. The present study compared PLM (now called Candida test) with Sabouraud's plus antimicrobials and Littman's ox-gall agar without antimicrobials. Of 500 random vaginal sampl...
متن کاملModified Pagano Levin medium to isolate Candida species.
The use of Pagano Levin medium for primary isolation of Candida species from highly contaminated specimens proved unsatisfactory owing to overgrowth by bacteria and fungi. Addition of cycloheximide and chloramphenicol to the medium greatly improved results by inhibiting overgrowth. The additional inhibitors also altered rate of growth and degree of pigmentation reported for some of the Candida ...
متن کاملComparison of Sabouraud dextrose and Pagano-Levin agar media for detection and isolation of yeasts from oral samples.
The sensitivities of Sabouraud dextrose agar and modified Pagano-Levin agar for the primary isolation of yeasts and the recovery of multiple yeast species from single clinical samples were compared by using oral-rinse samples. Although there was a highly significant positive correlation between the numbers of yeasts recovered from both media, modified Pagano-Levin agar was far superior in detec...
متن کاملEvaluation of a latex agglutination test for the identification of Candida species in vaginal discharge.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of Candida vulvovaginitis using historical symptoms, pelvic examination findings, and results of traditional in-office laboratory tests is often inaccurate. Although Candida cultures can verify the diagnosis, they are not routinely used. METHODS We prospectively compared the accuracy of a commercially available, in-office, rapid, latex agglutination test (CandidaSure)...
متن کاملDermatrophye test medium: evaluation with nondermatophytic pathogens.
The growth and color change produced on dermatophyte test medium (DTM) by 25 strains of zoopathogenic fungi associated with human skin lesions were evaluated quantitatively. DTM only partially suppressed the development of nondermatophytes, with total growth in most instances comparable with that observed with dermatophytes. Whereas all dermatophytes induced a rapid color change on DTM, several...
