title: [A nutrient medium for culturing fungi based on a flores chamomillae infusion. II. The evaluation of the biological properties of fungi cultured on a medium with a flores chamomillae infusion].
abstract: The paper reports on the biological properties of Candida albicans (strain I.C. - 130) cultivated on a medium with infusion of Flores chamomillae (I.F.C.) in parallel to the same strain cultivated on the medium Sabouraud (control). The results obtained showed an identical phenotypical profile for the biological properties investigated (fermentation capacity of glucides, reduction of TTC, formation of chlamydospores on the PCB special medium, antigenic structure, sensibility to antifungal substances, virulence). The qualities of the I.F.C. medium for the optimum insurance of the metabolic requirements of the fungi, for their recovery from clinical samples with a high rate of positivity, for ensuring the maintenance of the main biological properties of the fungi, to which the economical advantages are added (low price, easy availability of the raw material simple and rapid preparation methodology) recommend its use in the clinical laboratory, instead of the classical Sabouraud medium to which it corresponds qualitatively.
