BACKGROUND: @entity363 is defined as @entity15231 associated with vaginal carriage of Candida spp. and is a common problem with a high rate of morbidity. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the distribution of Candida spp. and evaluate the corresponding antifungal susceptibility in @entity1 with @entity5860 in Chongqing, southwestern China. @entity1 AND METHODS: Samples (n = 2.129) were obtained from female @entity1 with symptoms of @entity5860 . Candida spp. were isolated from the specimens and were identified using a coloration medium and the VITEK 2 Compact automatic microbial identification system. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the ATB FUNGUS drug susceptibility testing system. RESULTS: From 2,129 samples, 478 (22.45%) isolates of Candida were isolated, of which 395 (82.64%) were @entity5132 , 39 (8.16%) were @entity7408 , 21 (4.39%) were @entity9841 , 9 (1.88%) were @entity7409 , and 14 (2.93%) were other Candida spp. The resistance of @entity5132 , @entity7408 , and @entity9841 to 5 antifungal drugs ( @entity2379 , @entity18111 , @entity2380 , @entity4895 , and @entity2059 ) ranged from 0.5% to 6.4%, 0% to 7.7%, and 0% to 9.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: @entity5132 was the major pathogen associated with @entity7553 of the female genital tract in @entity1 in Chongqing. The results of the antifungal sensitivity of the isolates suggest that it is important for clinicians to administer appropriate antifungals for the treatment of Candida spp. infections.
