Amaç:Bu çalışmada, çeşitli klinik örneklerden izole edilen 38 maya suşunun tür tanımlaması ve antifungalduyarlılıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem:Maya suşları API ID 32 C kiti ile tiplendirilmiş, API ATB Fungus kiti ile flusitozin, amfoterisin B,nistatin, mikonazol, ekonazol ve ketokonazola karşı in vitro antifungal duyarlılıkları saptanmıştır.Bulgular:Suşların 18'i idrar, 8'i kan, 8'i balgam, 2'si abse, 1'i vajen, 1'i mide içeriği örneklerinden izole edildi.Suşların türlere göre dağılımındaC. albicanstropicalis(1, %2.6),C. parapsilosismikonazola %2.6 oranında, ekonazola %47 oranında ve ketokonazola %45 oranında direnç saptandı.Sonuç:C. albicans ve C. glabratasuşlarının ekonazola ve ketokonazola yüksek oranda dirençli olduğu saptandı.Candidasaptanmasının gerektiği önerilmektedir
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and determine antifungal susceptibility patterns of 38 yeast strains isolated from various clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: Identification of the strains were determined by API ID 32 C kit and antifungal susceptibilities of these species to flucytosine, amphotericine B, nystatin, miconazole, econazole and ketoconazole were determined by APIATB Fungus kit. Results: Of the 38 strains, 18 were isolated from urine, 8 from blood, 8 from sputum, 2 from abscess 1 from vagina and 1 from gastric contents. Candida albicans (31, 81.3%) was the most frequently isolated species, followed by C. glabrata (5, 13.2%), C. tropicalis (1, 2.6%), and C. parapsilosis (1, 2.6%). The antifungal resistance ratios of the strains were as follows; flucytosine 2.6%, amphotericine B 2.6%, nystatine 2.6%, miconazole 2.6%, econazole 47% and ketokonazole 45%. Conclusion: High rates of resistance against econazole and ketokonazole were detected in C. albicans and C. glabrata species. It is suggested that for proper treatment of Candida species infections, identification and determinations of antifungal susceptibility pattern are mandatory.Species definition and determination of antifungal susceptibility pattern are adviced for the proper treatment ofCandida infections.
