Overview

Retrospective study revealed a 36.79% presence of candida species in vaginal swabs, indicating vulvovaginal candidiasis prevalence.

Key Points

  • The rate of candida species in vaginal swab cultures was 36.79%, emphasizing the common occurrence of candidiasis.
  • Among identified isolates, candida albicans represented 70.7%, while candida glabrata comprised 23.1%, raising azole resistance concerns.
  • This retrospective analysis spanned 11 years and included 2594 vaginal swab cultures from a university hospital in Istanbul.
  • The emergence of non-albicans species like candida glabrata is significant, necessitating further monitoring for effective treatment strategies.
