Search for: [Abstract = ". albicans strains. Only some strains of R. mucilaginosa produce capsules and pseudohyphae in the serum. Most strains of R. mucilaginosa are able to produce the biofilm in serum at 37°C in polystyrene microplates, but the size of the biofilm after three days incubation is significantly lower than in the compared strains of C. albicans. This may explain the case studies of fungemia due to Rhodotorula during maintenance of long\-term venous catheters. High MICs have been shown for strains of R. mucilaginosa to fluconazole and itraconazole. Biotyping on the base of enzymograms of API ZYM test are useless in differentiation of strains."]
