Abstract

species are responsible for causing many health care associated and central line associated infections. They are responsible for causing opportunistic infection in human beings. Genus of is composed of a heterogeneous group of organsims.Invasive infections of mainly caused by , , & . The main objective of this study was to isolates and Non- albicans and their antifungal susceptibility testing.Thestudy was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, in Tmu Hospital Moradabad. Total numbers of 806 clinical samples were processed in which 206 isolates were taken for . Isolation and antifungal susceptibility testing done by Vitek-2 system.Out of 206 samples 77(37%) were and 129(63%) were Non-albicans (NAC). Maximum isolated species were 77(37%), followed by 70(34%), 24(12%), C. glabrata 19(9%), 12(6%), C. krusei 3(1%), C.african 1(1%).Infection caused by NAC species have increased. was the most common isolated species. ,and were shown high susceptibility to fluconazole and voriconazole. Amphotericin B, Caspofungin, Micafungin and Flucytosine shows high susceptibility towards other candida species.
