Characterisation of pathogenic species of Candida by gas chromatography: preliminary findings

Abstract
The volatile substances produced and utilized by some species of Candida isolated from man were determined in 2 cultural conditions by gas chromatography. It was possible to characterize C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. albicans and C. guilliermondii, but more species and isolates must be studied for conclusive results.
