About this trial
1. To determine the susceptibility pattern of our local isolated Candida strains which is essential for optimal management of fungal infection. 2. Detection of biofilm formation by conventional and molecular methods 3. Comparison between C. albicans and non-albicans in the prevalence of biofilm formation and biofilm -forming genes 4. Find the association between antifungal resistance and biofilm formation in candida strains isolated from patients 5. Determination of clinical factors associated with occurrence of infections.
