Species Identification and Drug Resistance from Patients with Urogenital Candidiasis / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate species and drug resistance of pathogenic fungi from patients with urogenital candidiasis.METHODS The fungi were cultured with general method,isolated and identified with CHRO-Magar medium and API20C AUX stripes.Drug sensitive test was tested by M-27-A broth microdilution method recommendated.RESULTS In 331 pathogenic fungi,C.albicans was the most frequent species,followed by C.glabrata and C.parapsilosis.The resistant rate in the female patients wasto itraconazole 3.24%,fluconazole 4.32%,nystatin 4.86%, amphotericin B 6.49%,miconazole 16.76%,ketoconazole 17.84%,and to econazole 28.6%,and that in the male patients wasto nystatin 4.11%,itraconazole 5.48%,fluconazole 8.22%,amphotericin B 10.27%,ketoconazole 17.81%,econazole 23.29% and to miconazole 26.71%.CONCLUSIONS In order to guide clinically the selection of reasonable antifungals,species identification and sensitive test should also be stressed.
