Antifungal susceptibility profiles of Candida and non-albicans species isolated from pregnant women: implications for emerging antimicrobial resistance in maternal health

Antifungal susceptibility profiles of Candida and non-albicans species isolated from pregnant women: implications for emerging antimicrobial resistance in maternal health

ABSTRACT Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common fungal infection, affecting approximately 75% of women at least once in their lifetime. Candida albicans is the predominant pathogen, responsible for 85%–90% of symptomatic cases. This study assessed the prevalence and antifungal susceptibility pat...
