Abstract
Methods of preparing and plating inocula onto media for the Odds and Abbott Candida albicans biotyping system (F. C. Odds and A. B. Abbott, Sabouraudia 18:301-317, 1980; Odds and Abbott, Sabouraudia 21:79-81, 1983) were altered to utilize inexpensive and commercially available supplies and equipment. The modified system correlates well with the reference system.
