Isolation and detection of multiple yeasts from a single clinical sample by use of Pagano-Levin agar medium

A total of 15,234 clinical samples were tested on modified Pagano-Levin agar medium to detect multiple yeast species within a single sample. Samples containing more than one yeast species were estimated to be 8.0% of the total. The most frequent combination of different yeasts was Candida albicans and Torulopsis glabrata.
