Abstract:
Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three methods of yeast-like fungi identification of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).Methods The pathogenic candida strains were identified by CHROM agar chromogeinc culture medium,the chromogenic medium of Autobio and VITEK 2 system,and the result of VITEK 2 system was the gold standard.Results All candida strains were appraised.By VITEK2 system,217 candida isolates were identified as candida albicans,and 26 were detected as non-candida albicans.214 isolates were identified as candida albicans and 13 isolates were identified as non-candida albicans by Autobio.214 isolates were appraised as candida albicans,16 isolates were identified as non-candida albicans.The coincidence rate of identification of CHROMagar and the chromogenic medium of Autobio were 94.7％ and 95.06％.Compared with VITEK 2 system,there was no significant difference between these two chromogeinc culture medium identifying candida albicans and non-candida albicans.Conclusion The chromogenic medium of Autobio has higher cost-effectiveness,higher color discrimination and simpler technical operation,and is worthy of promotion in identifying candida species in clinic.
