Further simplification of the Guizotia abyssinica seed medium for identification of Cryptococcus neoformans and
Canadian Journal of Microbiology
|September 1, 1979
Abstract:
A simplified Guizotia abyssinica seed-based medium for presumptive diagnosis of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. bacillispora (Paliwal and Randhawa 1978) was further simplified by replacing seed extract with pulverized seeds. This medium gives unambiguous results, avoids false-positive reactions with 13 other yeastlike organisms, and is simple and relatively inexpensive to prepare.
