چکیده

conclusions candida strains isolated from newborns, elderly patients, and intensive care patients, identified and isolates from blood cultures, should be studied for antifungal susceptibility for management of the treatment. our university hospital is a recently opened center and these are the first data of our center. gradually, as the number of patients increases, this data will be evaluated further. results a total of 262 strains, isolated from the anesthesiology and reanimation unit, as well as from the departments of hematology, urology, infectious diseases, gynecology and obstetrics, and ear nose and throat, were included in this study. the most common isolated yeast-like species was candida albicans. c. parapsilosis was the most common yeast-like fungus isolated from blood cultures. all the blood culture strains were susceptible to amphotericin b, flucytosine, fluconazole and voriconazole. objectives in our study, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of yeast-like fungi strains isolated from blood, urine, wound and respiratory specimens, which were sent from various departments of izmir university school of medicine university hospital. materials and methods the 262 yeast strains (of 13860 clinical specimens), isolated during 30.05.2012-20.05.2013, which were sent from various departments of izmir university school of medicine to medical microbiology laboratory, were included in this study. blood, wound, respiratory (sputum, tracheal secretion), and urine specimens were cultivated on blood agar and sabouraud dextrose agar and incubated for 24-48 hours at 37°c. the isolates were cultivated on chromagar candida and cornmeal tween 80 medium for identification. besides, the automatized vitek version 2.0 system was used for identification of the yeast strains as well as the antifungal susceptibility of blood culture strains. background the increased life span has led to application of more invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment of particularly immunosuppressed individuals. this situation drew more attention to fungal infections due to existence of yeast-like fungi. candida infections have increased due to transplant in patients, prolonged intensive care unit (icu) stays, and invasive procedures. recently, identification of yeast-like fungi as well as antifungal susceptibility test has been gaining more importance.
