Epidemiology and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida Species Isolated from 10 Tertiary Care Hospitals in Iran.

ABSTRACT: In recent decades, the incidence of Candida infections has increased in immunocompromised patients. This multicenter study aimed to evaluate in vitro antifungal activities of 8 antifungal agents against the Candida species isolated from 10 university hospitals in Iran. During the period from Dec 2019 to Dec 2021, Candida species were collected from clinical samples of patients. The isolates were identified by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing methods. The antifungal susceptibility tests of each isolate to eight antifungal agents were performed according to the microdilution CLSI M27, M59, and M60 standard methods. A total of 598 Candida strains were isolated from clinical samples. The most commonly isolated Candida species
