Overview

Study examines antifungal susceptibility of yeast in wound specimens, revealing high rates in diabetic patients.

Key Points

  • Overall prevalence of Candida sp. was 38.1%, with diabetic wounds showing the highest contribution at 52.4%.
  • 87.5% of yeast isolates exhibited germ tube formation, indicating virulence potential, but lacked biofilm production.
  • Ketoconazole was found to be the most effective antifungal agent, surpassing fluconazole and itraconazole in susceptibility tests.
  • The study highlights the need for effective antifungal treatment due to rising drug-resistant infections.
