TABLE 2.

Chromogenic identification of C. albicans among 60 random yeast isolates after preliminary growth at 30 and 37°C

Incubation temp (°C)	No. of CHROMagar Candida tube test-positive results at:
	2.5 h	4 h	8 h	24 h	48 h
30	38a	40b	39c	38	38
37	40d	40e	39f	38	38

^aTwo false negatives and two false positives were detected. Two strains of C. albicans gave no color at this incubation time, and two strains of C. tropicalis gave a green color. 

^bTwo false positives were detected, both strains of C. tropicalis. 

^cOne false positive was detected. One strain of C. tropicalis remained green at this incubation temperature. 

^dTwo false positives, both C. tropicalis, and no false negatives were detected. 

^eTwo false positives, both C. tropicalis, were detected. 

^fOne false-positive strain of C. tropicalis was detected.
