A method for the presumptive detection of Candida in vaginal fluid, thereby providing an aid to the diagnosis of Candida vaginosis. A sample of vaginal fluid is combined with a test composition comprising an indicator system that provides a chromogenic response in the presence of D-arabinitol; the detection of an elevated level of D-arabinitol indicating the presumptive presence of Candida. The test composition preferably comprises the enzyme D-arabinitol dehydrogenase, NAD, an electron transfer agent, and a chromogenic indicator.
一种推定检测阴道液中念珠菌的方法,从而为诊断念珠菌性阴道病提供帮助。将阴道液样本与检测组合物结合,检测组合物包含一个指示剂系统,该指示剂系统在 D-阿拉伯糖醇存在的情况下会产生发色反应;检测到 D-阿拉伯糖醇水平升高,则表明推定存在念珠菌。检测组合物最好由 D-阿拉伯糖醇脱氢酶、NAD、电子传递剂和发色指示剂组成。
