چکیده
conclusions candida albicans was the major pathogen associated with candidiasis of the female genital tract in patients in chongqing. the results of the antifungal sensitivity of the isolates suggest that it is important for clinicians to administer appropriate antifungals for the treatment of candida spp. infections. background vulvovaginal candidiasis is defined as vulvovaginitis associated with vaginal carriage of candida spp. and is a common problem with a high rate of morbidity. objectives to investigate the distribution of candida spp. and evaluate the corresponding antifungal susceptibility in women with genital tract infection in chongqing, southwestern china. patients and methods samples (n = 2.129) were obtained from female patients with symptoms of genital tract infection. candida spp. were isolated from the specimens and were identified using a coloration medium and the vitek 2 compact automatic microbial identification system. antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the atb fungus drug susceptibility testing system. results from 2,129 samples, 478 (22.45%) isolates of candida were isolated, of which 395 (82.64%) were candida albicans, 39 (8.16%) were c. glabrata, 21 (4.39%) were c. tropicalis, 9 (1.88%) were c. parapsilosis, and 14 (2.93%) were other candida spp. the resistance of c. albicans, c. glabrata, and c. tropicalis to 5 antifungal drugs (amphotericin b, voriconazole, fluconazole, 5-fluorocytosine, and itraconazole) ranged from 0.5% to 6.4%, 0% to 7.7%, and 0% to 9.6%, respectively.

متن کاملAdhesion Molecules Associated with Female Genital Tract Infection
Efforts to develop vaccines that can elicit mucosal immune responses in the female genital tract against sexually transmitted infections have been hampered by an inability to measure immune responses in these tissues. The differential expression of adhesion molecules is known to confer site-dependent homing of circulating effector T cells to mucosal tissues. Specific homing molecules have been ...

متن کاملFemale Genital Tract Cysts
Cystic diseases in the female pelvis are common. Cysts of the female genital tract comprise a large number of physiologic and pathologic cysts. The majority of cystic pelvic masses originate in the ovary, and they can range from simple, functional cysts to malignant ovarian tumors. Non-ovarian cysts of female genital system are appeared at least as often as ovarian cysts. In this review, we aim...
متن کاملThe Pathobiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Lower Female Genital Tract Infection
Infection and disease associated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the gonococcus, continue to be a global health problem. Asymptomatic and subclinical gonococcal infections occur at a high frequency in females; thus, the true incidence of N. gonorrhoeae infections are presumed to be severely underestimated. Inherent to this asymptomatic/subclinical diseased state is the continued prevalence of this ...
