Abstract:
Chlamydospores are a distinctive morphologic feature of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis and aid in their identification. A new medium, tobacco agar, for chlamydosporulation in Candida is described. All the strains of C. dubliniensis and 96% of isolates of C. albicans tested produced chlamydospores after 24 h incubation on tobacco agar, whereas none of the other seven species produced chlamydospores.
