Abstract
A comparison of the antigenic relationship of Torulopsis glabrata with Candida tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. stellatoidea, C. guilliermondil, C. albicans, C. krusei, and C. pseudotropicalis has been made. Tube agglutination was the serological procedure employed. Two strains of each species were utilized individually for antisera production, adsorption and cross adsorption, and for the agglutination reactions. The results indicated that T. glabrata has antigens common to all the species of Candida included in this investigation, in addition to those that were specific for this organism. Other species of Torulopsis were not studied.Keywords
