Evaluation of Diverse Phenotypic Methods for Differenting between Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans
Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis have a close phylogenetic relationship. The similarity between these species can cause a microbiology laboratory to identify C. dubliniensis erroneously as C. albicans. The objective of this research was to evaluate diverse phenotypic methods for differentia...

The objective of this research was to evaluate diverse phenotypic methods for differentiating between Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans. Six control strains of C. dubliniensis and one of C. albicans from recognized collections were used and submitted to genotypification. Also, 70 isolates were used, identified as possible C. albicans utilizing CHROMagar Candida and bilis agar Feo mediums. The methods evaluated were: Sabouraud dextrosa agar at 45°C, Sabouraud agar with NaCl at 6.5%, Tween 80 agar, tobacco agar, Pal’s agar, tomato-carrot agar and agglutination with latex particles (Bichro-Dubli Fumouze®). It was found that the most reliable techniques for performing phenotype differentiation between these two species were tomato-carrot agar, Pal’s agar, tobacco agar and agglutination with latex particles (Bichro-Dubli Fumouze®).
