Abstract
To evaluate methods for differentiating Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis , 772 putative C. albicans bloodstream isolates were tested for growth at 37 and 42°C. Isolates showing no growth at 42°C, abundant chlamydospore production, and the sugar assimilation pattern of the type strain were confirmed by DNA-based procedures to be C. dubliniensis .Keywords
