Antifungal susceptibility pattern

The present study was done to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species by Disc diffusion method which is helpful for guiding therapy. All clinical samples sent to the Microbiology laboratory were inoculated on to Blood agar and MacConkey agar. The suspected colonies of Candida were identified by Gram stain and inoculated onto CHROM Candida differential agar for speciation.

A total of 100 isolates of candida species were recovered from various clinical samples. C. albicans was the most common isolated species (42%) followed by C. krusei (17%) C. tropicalis (15%) C. parapsilosis (13%) C. famata (8%) C. glabrata (4%) and Cryptococcus species (1%). Non albicans Candida were isolated at a higher rate (58%) than C. albicans. Most of the Candida isolate were susceptible to Amphotericin (81%) followed by Nystastin (79%) and Miconazole (58%). Fluconazole was least effective with 79% resistant.

During recent decades, there has been a change in the epidemiology of Candida infections, characterized by progressive shift from predominance of Candida albicans to non albicans Candida. The aim of present study to isolate and identify the different Candida spp. from BSIs and evaluate its antifungal susceptibility pattern the present study was conducted in department of Microbiology for a period of one year (January - December 2016) which included, 48 Candida spp. isolated from BSIs.

Dermatophytoses broadly includes superficial fungal infection of skin, hair and nail. In India dermatophytic infection are very common superficial fungal infections due to hot and humid climate in most of the part of country. A study was planned to find clinicomycological profile of dermatophytic infection in our arid zone along with study of predisposing factors and to find out species commonly involved. To guide the clinician regarding therapeutic options antifungal susceptibility was carried out.

The aim of present study was to isolate, identify various species of Candida responsible for producing clinical Candidacies from blood culture and to determine antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species by disc diffusion method. study was conducted at Microbiology department P.D.U Medical college Rajkot from March 2014 to June 2015. Blood samples from suspected cases were inoculated in to Brain Heart Infusion broth were incubated at 370C and subcultured routinely.

Candida species are unusual cause of urinary tract infections in healthy individuals, but common in hospital setting or among patients with predisposing factors. The isolation of Candida from urine is challenging both for clinician and microbiologist as to whether the candiduria represents colonization or urinary tract infection. Species identification of Candida is also important as non albicans Candida are on rise in recent years which are more resistant to antifungal drugs and as a result morbidity and mortality is also increasing.

Candida species form part of normal flora of human beings. In the presence of predisposing factors, these can cause different infections with varied severity. Over the last few months fungal infection rates have increased and a change is seen in their epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility pattern. Hence this study was conducted to learn the distribution of Candida species in various samples and their antifungal susceptibility pattern. A total number of 60 Candida isolates were included in the study. Identification was done by colony morphology and Gram stain.
