RESUMO
CHROMagar Candida medium was inoculated with a variety of clinical samples (n = 282) by using membrane filtration instead of swabbing or streaking. This modified CHROMagar procedure increased the ability to detect yeast by 16.7%. Compared to an enzymatic two-step membrane filtration method with fluorogenic substrates, it yielded similar recovery but was slower.
