Abstract
Candida is yeast like fungus and ubiquitous human commensal. They become pathogens and cause infections when the host's resistance to infection is lowered either locally or systemically [1]. The present study was conducted to evaluate the advantages of CHROM agar from various clinical samples for Isolation of Candida. In this study Candida albicans was isolated in 48.4% species. 248 samples were collected, where Urine sample was the most common sample (68.1%) followed by Pus (13.3%) and blood (14.3%). The percentage of other samples was less than 4.3%. Candida culture was positive in 25% of the samples. The most common organism isolated among bacteria was E.coli (10.2%). Growth on Saboraud dextrose agar culture was positive in 25% of the samples. Gram staining was positive in 25% of the samples. Germ tube test was positive in 51.6% of the samples. Candia albicans was the most common species isolated (51.6%) followed by C.tropicalis (38.7%), C.kruseik (8.1%) and C.glabrata (1.6%). Non-Candia albicans was isolated in 48.4% species.
