Abstract
Specific identification of Candida albicans type A, C. albicans type B, C. tropicalis, C. stellatoidea, and Torulopsis glabrata was effected by means of a pair of fluorescein-labelled immune globulins directed respectively against C. albicans A and T. glabrata. The former, when absorbed with cells of C. stellatoidea, differentiated C. albicans A - C. tropicalis and C. albicans B - C. stellatoidea from all other yeasts tested, while the latter, absorbed with C. albicans A, separated the 2 pairs into their respective components and also identified T. glabrata. The results of immunofluorescence and conventional methods agreed with each other on the identification of more than 95% of 585 routine yeastlike isolates, of which 335 were C. albicans A and 55 C. albicans B.
