“…C. glabrata sensu stricto was shown to be the second most common species, as in most studies, albeit at a lower percentage. Although only three NAC species-C. glabrata sensu stricto, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis sensu stricto-were recovered in our cases, 4-11 NAC species have frequently been isolated from VVC patients (Gamarra et al, 2014;Kalkanci et al, 2013;Konaté et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014;Mahmoudi Rad et al, 2012;Vijaya et al, 2014). Furthermore, in line with other authors (Gamarra et al, 2014;Kalkanci et al, 2013;Konaté et al, 2014;Vijaya et al, 2014), mixed candidal infections were absent in our study.…”

“…Based on traditional biochemical/morphological methods, overall percentages of VVC caused by C. albicans range from 46.9 to 85 % in various countries (Kalkanci et al, 2013;Konaté et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014;Vijaya et al, 2014). On the other hand, real-time PCR and pyrosequencing revealed that C. albicans (49.6 %) was the predominant pathogen in VVC cases, followed by C. glabrata (23.7 %), C. parapsilosis (13.3 %), C. tropicalis (9.6 %) and mixed infections (3.7 %) in the USA (Trama et al, 2005).…”

“…isolated from VVC shows variation in results depending on the method utilized. Recently, E-test and CLSI reference methods have found that the resistance rates to C. albicans are 8.6 % for voriconazole, 1-19.1 % for itraconazole, 0-9.7 % for fluconazole, 0-2.6 % for ketoconazole and 12.7 % for miconazole (Gamarra et al, 2014;Kalkanci et al, 2013;Konaté et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2009;Vijaya et al, 2014). The Neo-Sensitabs method showed that the resistance rates to C. albicans were 1.1, 2.2 and 4.2 % for fluconazole, itraconazole and miconazole, respectively (Liu et al, 2014).…”

There is limited information regarding the molecular epidemiology and antifungal susceptibilities of Candida isolates using the Neo-Sensitabs method in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). From August 2012 to March 2013, 301 non-pregnant patients aged 18-50 years with suspected VVC were prospectively screened at a teaching hospital in southern China. The vaginal isolates were identified by DNA sequencing of internal transcribed spacer and the D1/D2 domain. Antifungal susceptibility testing of seven antifungal agents was performed using the NeoSensitabs tablet diffusion method. Candida species were isolated from 186 cases (61.79 %). The most common pathogen was Candida albicans (91.4 %), followed by Candida glabrata (4.3 %), Candida tropicalis (3.2 %) and Candida parapsilosis (1.1 %). The susceptibility rates to C. albicans were higher for caspofungin, voriconazole and fluconazole than those for itraconazole, miconazole, ketoconazole and terbinafine (P,0.01). The resistance rates to C. albicans were 4.7, 6.5, 7.1, 7.6, 12.3, 27.7 and 74.7 % for caspofungin, miconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole and terbinafine, respectively. No drugs tested apart from fluconazole exhibited differences in resistance between C. albicans and non-albicans Candida isolates. The results demonstrate that, using DNA sequencing, C. albicans is the most common isolate from Chinese patients with VVC. Caspofungin, voriconazole and fluconazole may be preferable to other azoles and terbinafine in the treatment of VVC.

“…In Egypt, Shaaban et al (2015) indicated that the most prevalent vaginal Candida species was C. albicans (78.3%) followed by C. glabrata (12%) then C. tropicalis (5.4%). In most regions of the world, C. glabrata was the common taxa among non-albicans vulvovaginal Candida (Paulitsch et al, 2006;Konate et al, 2014 andAmeen et al, 2017).…”

A LTHOUGH the incidence of vaginitis caused by non-albicans Candida tends to be increased, C. albicans still the main causative agent of vaginitis Candida. Eighty-eight vaginal swab samples were collected from women with acute vaginitis in Qena, Egypt. Of 50 isolates, 39 admitted into C. albicans and 11 non-albicans Candida isolates (78% and 22% prevalence, respectively) were identified. Youths were more susceptible to infection with vulvovaginal Candida, the rate of infection decreased with increase education levels and the risk of infection was greater among douching use women. All isolates belonging to Candida taxa were positive to proteinase activity and 48 (96%) were lipase producers. Non-albicans Candida (C. glabrata, C. tropicalis and C. krusei) were more proteinase producers than C. albicans (P< 0.000). Compared with C. tropicalis, the other isolated Candida exhibited less lipase activity (P< 0.000). The higher lipase capacity of C. tropicalis may reflect their increased prevalence among non-albicans Candida group. Among five essential oils, cinnamon and clove oils showed strong efficacy against isolated Candida strains compared with miconazole antifungal.
