Methods: The present study was conducted on 150 isolates of UPEC obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic cases of UTIs with significant counts (≥10 CFU/ml) during 1 year.
Background: Candida parapsilosis is recognized as a species complex: Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are three distinct but closely related species.
Aims: To determine the species and antifungal susceptibility of members of the C. parapsilosis complex, isolated from clinical samples.
Article Synopsis
- Candida auris is a multidrug-resistant fungus that is often misidentified as Candida haemulonii, making accurate identification crucial for effective treatment.
- This study aimed to create a cost-effective method for distinguishing C. auris from C. haemulonii using a specific growth medium.
- Results showed that C. auris exhibited distinct growth patterns on the CHROMagar Candida medium supplemented with Pal's agar, allowing for easy differentiation from C. haemulonii isolates.
