Abstract:

Objective To explore the species distribution and drug resisitance of Candida infection in our hospital from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2017, and to provide etiological basis for clinical rational use of antifungal agents. Method All the data of patients with Candida infection including gender, age, organism, specimen type, department distribution and drug residence from Jan. 2015 to Dec were retrospectively collected. Result Total 720 Candida isolates mainly came from Geriatric department and Pulmonary department. C. albicans was the most common one, followed by C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis. The main site of infection was respiratory tracts. There was no difference in the distributions of species from 2015 to 2017. The resistance of Candida albicans to fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B was lower than that of non-Candida albicans (P<0.001). There were 102 multi-drug resistant strains in 720 Candida isolates, among which C. glabrata and C.krusei had the highest multi-drug resistance rates. Conclusion Candida albicans was still the main isolate of Candida, and there is no significant change in the isolation rates during three years; the drug resistance of Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans was different, and the multi-drug resistance rate of non-Candida albicans was higher than that of C. albicans. Clinical antifungal therapy should be based on the results of antifungal susceptibility test.
