Detection of antifungal drug-resistant and gene mutations among clinical isolates of species isolated from Khartoum, Sudan.

   species are one of the most important opportunistic fungal pathogens that cause both superficial and systemic infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Considering the sharp increase in the rate of   infections, and resistance to commonly used antifungal agents in the last decades; this study was conducted to determine the rate of resistance among clinical isolates of   species, and to characterize some of the resistant genes among resistant isolates collected in Khartoum.   This is a cross-sectional laboratory-based study included 100 pre-screened   species isolates from Khartoum state hospitals.
