Abstract
This method is based on differences in the resistance of strains of Candida albicans to a number of selected chemicals used at critical concentrations. The method was applied to isolates from patients undergoing treatment for vaginal infection and it was found that particular strains were consistently present in individual patients, both in different specimens and on different occasions. It was also found that some patients harboured more than one strain of C. albicans. Inconsistencies in the resistograms of certain isolates tested on a number of occasions were resolved when the amount of inoculum used in the test was further standardized.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
