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 azoles.1
Isolate, differentiate and identify Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from other Candida spp. within 48 hours with this selective differential chromogenic medium.
- Rapid: allows the identification of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from other species of Candida within 48 hours.
- Easy-to-read: Candida albicans (green colonies) is easy to isolate from Candida tropicalis (dark blue colonies)
Brilliance Candida Agar incorporates two chromogens that indicate the presence of the target enzymes:
- X-NAG (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl N acetyl ß-D-glucosaminide) detects the activity of hexosaminidase.
- BCIP (5-bromo-6-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate p-toluidine salt) detects alkaline phosphatase activity
The typical enzyme patterns of Candida spp. as below:
| Chromogen: Enzyme: | X-NAG Hexosaminidase | BCIP Alkaline phosphatase | Typical colony appearance |
| C. tropicalis | + | Dark blue | |
| C. albicans C. dubliniensis | + | Green ‡ | |
| C. krusei | + | Dry, irregular pink-brown | |
| C. glabrata C. kefyr C. parapsilosis C. lusitaniae | Variable | Beige/yellow/ brown † |
