CHROMagar Candida is a selective chromogenic culture medium intended for use in the qualitative direct detection, differentiation, and presumptive identification of Candida species. The test is performed with swabs from skin, throat, ears, and vaginal specimens as well as sputum, urine, and stool samples, in parallel to cultures on Sabouraud agar, to aid in the Candidiasis diagnosis. Results can be interpreted after 20-48 hours of aerobic incubation at 35-37 °C.
