Speciation of Candida using CHROMagar in cases with oral epithelial dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: is most frequently isolated from oral cavity but identification of other species such as & is increasing proportionately. A constant rise in immuno-suppressed patients, widening range of recognized pathogens, and resistance to antifungal drugs are contributing factors which stress the need for species identification of , an opportunistic pathogen. Objectives: 1.
