“…This was also observed by Sumana et al in their study [18]. Diabetes mellitus was the commonest risk factor in patients from whose urine samples these isolates were grown as was seen in other studies also [1,13,19]. In diabetics, susceptibility to Candida infection increases probably due to increase antibiotic use, associated illnesses and hyperglycaemia [20].…”

“…Sandhu et al found decreased susceptibility to fluconazole in C. glabrata and C. krusei [23]. Guru et al and Sandhu et al also found higher rate of antifungal resistance in NAC as compared to C. albicans [19,23]. All other Candida species showed 100% susceptibility to amphotericin-b comparable to other studies [2,11,24].…”

“…Antimicrobial resistance, a major public health concern, largely arises from excess use of antibiotic and antifungal drugs. Lack of routine diagnostic testing for fungal diseases exacerbates the problem of antimicrobial drug empiricism, both antibiotic and antifungal (Denning et al, 2017) The gender-wise distribution of patients was 54.5% females and 45.5 % males in a study by Guru et al, (2016) and in a similar study by Dharwad et al, (2011) also the incidence of candidiasis was higher in females (64%) than in males (36%). But in our study there is preponderance of male patients over females.…”
