Yeast and yeast like organisms may grow in different forms.

The issue is what method(s) of growth should be used.

Are you looking for 1 Specific species or do you want to know all the different yeast and how many yeast are in the sample you are going to take.

Samples are tested for antigens determines the presence of the yeast Candida.

Simple culture on selective media, If the sample grows in a certain morphology(shape) it is identified as a specific species or a certain type of yeast.

Broad Spectrum recovery of multiple yeast species, how many different types of yeast and total organisms are recovered from the sample; to recover Yeast from any environmental or body sample and requires liquid culture for most yeast to grow. The liquid culture must then be converted to solid culture to mature, or phase, the yeast. Temperature-Independent, Transformational, Complex Non-Synthetic Multi Media Mold Formulas For the Optimum Recovery, Segregation, and Isolation of Fungal Molds and Yeast for Broad Spectrum Identification is required.
