ABSTRACT:
A method and culture and detection medium for selectively detecting yeasts of the species Candida albicans involving placing a sample to be analyzed directly in contact with (1) a culture and detection medium containing a nutrient base metabolized by yeasts, (2) a chromogenic or fluorigenic substrate capable of being hydrolyzed by a hexosaminidase enzyme that is associated with Candida albicans, and (3) at least one hexosaminidase-containing compound capable of activating hexosaminidase enzymes. A kit for carrying out the method for selectively detecting yeasts of the species Candida albicans is also provided.
