Chromatic™ Candida is a chromogenic selective medium used for the isolation and differentiation of
Candida
species directly from clinical and nonclinical specimens permitting to distinguish among
C.albicans, C.tropicalis, C.krusei, C.glabrata, C.dubliniensis
and
C.parapsilosis.
Although
Candida albicans
remains the most common cause of human Candidiasis, the frequency of infection attributed to other members of the genus is also increasing. Effective treatment requires both early diagnosis and prompt initiation of therapy against fungal infection.
