Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis display similar phenotypic and pathogenic
characteristics. Thus, the search for accurate tests to differentiate these two species is under
way. A simple phenotypic test that differentiates these two species is the production of
chlamydoconidia. Candida albicans develops terminal chlamydoconidia, whereas C.
dubliniensis, tend to form multiple chlamydoconidia. Currently the formation of these
structures is made in solid culture media. However, this approach takes more than 48 h. In
this study we have demonstrated that supplemented liquid media with milk in agitation has
the advantage to produce chlamydoconidia in shorter periods of time than the average
conventional methodologies. Although chlamydoconidia rapidly developed in this medium,
the differentiation of both species by this method proved to be difficult
