Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Candida may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of premalignant and malignant lesions. The aim of the study was to isolate and identify Candida species from the oral cavity with HiCrome candida differential agar plate. It is a new chromogenic culture media that allows the isolation and identification of species on the basis of coloured colony formation. This study was carried out in 56 patients that included, 18 cases of OSMF, 18 cases of Squamous cell carcinoma and 18 healthy individuals. Hichrom agar medium can show four different candida species depending on the coloured colonies, like light green colonies are identified as Candida albicans, Pink with a darker mauve center colonies as Candida glabrata, pink with pale borders colonies as Candida krusei, and dark blue, purple diffusion colonies as Candida tropicalis. Our study was able to identify the most common candida species in the diseased group as well in healthy individuals.
