Abstract

Aim :This study aims to assess the prevalence of nosocomial infections and to nd out the prevalence of yeasts responsible for the same. Material and Methods: Nosocomial infections were identied using CDC-NHSN guidelines. The prevalence of yeasts responsible for the same was assessed. Conventional and automated methods were used to isolate yeasts from relevant samples. The antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using automated method. Result : During the study period,147 nosocomial infections were identied ,with a prevalence of 5%.Out of this,17 yeasts were isolated with a prevalence of 11.5%.There was a majority of non-albicans candida or NAC(53%)
