Description
Summary:Fungi have emerged as major causes of human disease recently, especially among the immunocompromised patients and those hospitalized with serious underlying diseases. The aim of this study was to identify Candida species isolated from different cultures and determine their antifungal susceptibilities retrospectively and define of value of using commercial system. Test results of yeasts that were isolated from 45 blood, 10 urine, three bronchoalveolar lavage and one catheter samples of the patients during the period January 2011-December 2013 in our laboratory were evaluated.The yeasts were identifed by germ tube test, CHROMagar Candida (CHROMagar, Paris, France) and AuxaColor (Bio-Rad SDP, Paris, France) commercial identifcation system. The antifungal susceptibility tests were performed using Fungitest (Bio-Rad SDP, Paris, France) commercial system. The distribution of 71 candida species was as follows: 28 Candida albicans (39%), 13 Candida parapsilosis (18.3%), 11 Candida glabrata (15.5%), 10 Candida tropicalis (14.1%), four Candida krusei (5.6%), three Candida lusitaniae (4.2%), one Candida kefyr (1.4%) and one Candida dubliniensis (1.4%).
