Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the slime production in Candida strains by three different methods. One hundred-twenty-six Candida strains, causative agents of infection, were included in the study. Sabouraud broth with 8% glucose (SBG), Congo red agar with 8% glucose (CRAG) and tryptic soy broth with 8% glucose (TSBG) were used to determine slime production. In 126 Candida strains the slime production rates by CRAG, TSBG and SBG methods were 56 (44.4%), 50 (39.6%) and 42 (33.3%), respectively. There was no significant statistical difference between the three methods. The CRAG method was evaluated as the method of choice in investigating slime production for being easy and practical.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Candida suşlarında slime üretiminin üç farklı yöntem kullanılarak araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. İnfeksiyon nedeni 126 Candida suşu çalışmaya alınmış ve slime üretimini belirlemek için %8 glukoz içeren sıvı Sabouraud (GSS), %8 glukozlu kongo kırmızılı ağar (GKKA) ve %8 glukozlu triptik soy buyon (GTSB) besiyerleri kullanılmıştır. Slime üretimi GKKA'da 56 (%44.4), GTSB'da 50 (%39.6) ve GSS'da 42 (%33.3) Candida susunda pozitif bulunmuştur. Yöntemler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Slime üretimini saptamada GKKA yönteminin kolay uygulanması ve değerlendirilmesi nedeniyle tercih edilebilecek bir yöntem olduğu görüşüne varılmıştır.
