Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the drug resistance of Candida isolated from patients' specimen in clinic.METHODS The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) test to 243 Candida strains was performed using ATB-Fungus drug susceptibity plate provided by Bio-Merieux.RESULTS The most popular species of Candida in clinic was Candida albicans(64.6%),C.glabrata(14.4%),C.tropicalis(11.1%),C.parapsilosis(5.8%)and C.krusei(4.1%).There was a certain resistance to the 4 kinds of common antifungals including flucytosine,amphotericin B,fluconazole and itraconazole.The resistance status of C.krusei was the most serious,Its resistance rate to 4 kinds of antifungals was 20.0%,50.0%,30.0% and 40.0%,respectively.The drug resistance rate of 5 species of Candida to itraconazole was higher than that to fluconazole.CONCLUSIONS The commonly encountered Candida produce particular resistance to common antifungals,and it is very necessary to detect and control them.
