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...

background and aim: about 20% of non-pregnant women aged 15 to 55 harbour candida albicans in the vagina .the aimed to determine the characterization of candida species isolated from women with vulvovaginitis candidates (vvc) of reproductive ages. methods: this descriptive study was conducted on 280 of who were selected for gathering samples by purposive sampling based on their history and char...

background: systemic candidiasis is a major complication in neutropenic cancer patients undergoing treatment. most systemic fungal infections emerge from endogenous microflora so the aim of the present study was to identify candida species isolated from the different regions of body   in neutropenic patients in compare with the control group. methods: a total of 309 neutropenic cancer patients ...

aim : the aim of this investigation is identification of candida strains isolated from patients with gastro-oesophageal candidiasis in tehran, iran.   background : gastro-oesophageal candidiasis is a rare infection and appears mainly in debilitated or immunocompromised patients. colonization by  candida spp. may occur in this region and the organism can remain for several months or years in the...

vulvovaginal candidiasis (vvc) is a common disease among women worldwide, therefore, accurate and rapid diagnosis of causative agents based on molecular techniques utilizing amplification of target dna is highly recomendad for epidemiological purposes and for effective treatment. the aim of this study was to identify clinically candida species from vvc patients by restriction fragment length po...

introduction: recently, the incidence of fungal infections dramatically increased with an appearance of many novel species due to different criteria. therefore, several molecular methods have been established for identification of these agents which cause human and animal disorder based on genomic dna. among these methods, rapd-pcr technique is a powerful discriminative method based on amplifie...

background the occurrence of invasive candida infections has increased during the past two decades as a result of increasing in the number of immunocompromised patients. conclusions increase in the prevalence of non-c. albicans species in the recent years has become a problematic event amongst clinicians caring for icu patients. candida glabrata is the most common species isolated from icu pati...

 Abstract Background: The disk diffusion method for identification of yeasts species was performed based on different but distinct susceptibilities of yeasts spp. to chemicals: janus green, ethidium bromide, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, brilliant green, cycloheximide and rhodamine 6G. Methods: Atotal of 568 Iranian soldiers went under study for isolation and identification of Yeast spec...
