Serious infections due to Candida species are becoming increasingly prevalent. This poses particular problems because of the increasing incidence of non-albicans spp. and the emergence of non-albicans isolates resistant to both amphotericin B and the newer azoles2.
Use BiGGY Agar for isolation and identification of the Candida species.
- Selective: the presence of bismuth sulphite complex in the medium confers a high degree of selectivity to the medium, and most strains of bacteria are inhibited on BIGGY Agar.
- Can be used for the isolation and presumptive identification of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from sputum3,4 and vaginal smears5
- Recommended medium for the quality assessment of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products6
