چکیده

introduction: nosocomial candiduria could be due to cystitis, pyelonephritis, or fungusball in the urinary tract system. several reports have shown candidemia and upper urinarytract involvement as the complications of candiduria. the aim of this study was to assessnosocomial candiduria; identify candida isolates and determine their drug susceptibilitypattern. materials and methods: urine samples of 115 hospitalized patients werecollected during a period of five months. candida species were isolated and identifiedusing conventional and molecular (pcr-rflp) diagnostic methods. antifungalsusceptibility profiles for amphotericin b and fluconazole were performed using brothmicrodilution method, based on the clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi)m27-a2 guideline. results: nosocomial candiduria was diagnosed in 5 (4.3%) patients.the isolated candida species were identified as candida albicans (n: 4) and c. glabrata(n: 2). two strains of c. albicans, and c. glabrata were resistant to fluconazole.conclusion: similar to several reports, the results of this study show that c. albicans isthe main candida species causing nosocomial candiduria and drug resistant candidaspecies are causative agents of candiduria in hospitalized patients.

Identification of Candida Species Isolated from Hospitalized Patients with Candiduria

Background and objectives: The incidence of candiduria caused by Candida spp. has increased in recent years, particularly in hospitalized patients. Candiduria is most commonly caused by Candida albicans; however, an increase in the prevalence of non-albicans species has been observed during last decades. This study aimed at molecular identification of Candida species isolated from candiduria in...

Molecular identification and in-vitro antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida species isolated from patients with onychomycosis

Background and Purpose: Candida species are the most opportunistic fungi affecting the nails and resulting in onychomycosis. In this study, we identified and evaluated in-vitro susceptibility of the recovered isolates against fluconazole (FLC), voriconazole (VRC), and clotrimazole (CLT) using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M27-A3 document. Materials and Method...

Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility Pattern of Non-albicans Candida Species Isolated from Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an important health problem caused by Candida spp. The aim of this study was molecular identification, phylogenetic analysis, and evaluation of antifungal susceptibility of non-albicans Candida isolates from VVC. Methods: Vaginal secretion samples were collected from 550 vaginitis patients at Sayyad Shirazi Medical and Educational Center of Gorgan (...

Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Candida species isolated from Bronchoalveolar Lavage sampl

The frequency of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly by Candida species, has increased in recent years. Colonization by Candida species in respiratory tract in susceptible hosts may play an important role to precede disseminated candidiasis. This study was designed to identify Candida species from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples and determination of antifungal sus...

Antifungal susceptibility to azoles drugs in Candida species isolated from patients with onychomycosis

Background and Aim: Onychomycosis is an infection caused by yeast, filamentous and non-filamentous fungi, due to diverse conditions. This study aimed to investigate the pattern of azole susceptibility of candidate species isolated from Iranian patients in Tehran. Methods: After sampling from patients, identification of the isolated strains were performed with Candida chrom agar medium and PC...
