Rendimiento
Tal vez como resultado de los avances en terapia médica relacionada con una disminución en la resistencia del paciente y aumento en el número de huéspedes susceptibles, la incidencia de infecciones del torrente sanguíneo a través de Candida aumentó en los años 90 pero se ha estabilizado en años recientes. De manera común, las especies de Candida están implicadas en infecciones superficiales orofaringeas y urogenitales sobre todo en personas inmunodeprimidas como personas de edad avanzada y victimas del SIDA.«El diagnóstico precoz es esencial para el manejo efectivo temprano de los pacientes». (Directrices de la OMS sobre procedimientos operativos estándar para el diagnóstico de laboratorio de infecciones oportunistas por VIH).
Aunque C. albicans sigue siendo la especie de mayor relevancia, otros tipos como C. tropicalis, C. krusei o C. glabrata han incrementado proporcionalmente a medida que nuevos agentes angifúngicos trabajaban eficazmente contra C. albicans. Esto muestra la importancia de la elección de terapia antifúngica adecuada para una detección precisa
Aplicación :
CHROMagar™ Candida es un medio de cultivo cromogénico selectivo destinado a la detección cualitativa directa, la diferenciación y la identificación presuntiva de especies de Candida. La prueba se realiza en muestras de frotis de piel, de garganta, de oídos y vaginal, así como con muestras de esputo, orina y heces, en paralelo a los cultivos en agar Sabouraud, para ayudar al diagnóstico de la candidiasis. Los resultados pueden interpretarse tras 20-48 h de incubación aeróbica a 35-37 °C.
Es necesario realizar más pruebas microbiológicas o una tipificación epidemiológica. La falta de crecimiento o la ausencia de colonias en CHROMagar™ Candida no excluye la presencia de Candida. CHROMagar™ Candida no está destinado a diagnosticar la infección ni a guiar o supervisar el tratamiento de las infecciones.
1. Alto contraste : Coloración intensa de las colonias para diferenciar las especies y los cultivos mixtos.
2. Rapidez : Incubación de 20 - 48 h.
5. Menos trabajo : Con los medios tradicionales como el agar Sabouraud, la identificación de cultivos mixtos es difícil, mientras que con CHROMagar™ Candida, solo por el color de la colonia, es posible diferenciar inmediatamente varias especies de Candida y ayuda a ubicar sus colonias en cultivos mixtos.
3. Vista panorámica : Vista panorámica de la mezcla de población de Candida con la habilidad de detectar las especies principales pero también la presencia de poblaciones menores.
