ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a culture and identification medium specific of yeasts comprising a chromogenous or fluorigenous substrate, capable of being hydrolyzed by an enzyme of the hexosaminidase and optionally glucosidase group, and/or at least a compound selectively inhibiting the hexosaminidase activity ofC. tropicalis, and a method for selectively identifyingC. albicansand/orC. tropicalisand/or otherCandida, using such a medium. The invention is particularly applicable in the biomedical field and more particularly in bacteriology.
