Abstract EN
Due to the rising concern of Candida glabrata as an important opportunistic pathogen, we have conducted a 5-year retrospective study to assess the prevalence of this yeast in various clinical specimens from patients with variable clinical diseases.
We found the organism to be the second most prevalent yeast in clinical specimens with an isoltion rate of 15.4% being anteceded only by Candida albicans.
The specimens yielding highest number of isolates were high vaginal swab (60.8%) and urine (24.5%) indicating more involvement of C.
glabrata in colonization or infection of the vagina and urinary tract.
