1 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background: Candida albicans ( C. albicans ) is a major cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), a condition that is commonly treated with azole agents. Biofilm formation and aspartyl proteinase production are important virulence factors that could be linked to azole resistance in C. albicans impeding therapy. Aim: To find out the association of both factors with azole resistance among C. albicans isolated from...
