  Author(s): Adeleye Bakarey
  
  Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common microbial infections affecting all the age groups worldwide. Earlier studies have shown that apart from bacteria, many species of yeast in the genus Candida also cause urinary tract infection. However, modern diagnosis of Candida species and antifungal susceptibility testing in the laboratory have been undermined with no routine service available for antifungal susceptibility. This study was designed to characterize and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Candida species causing infection of the urinary tract among patients attending Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja Nigeria. A total of 250 participants whose provisional diagnosis was urinary tract infection were recruited for this study. Early morning midstream urine specimens were collected in sterile wide mouth universal .. Read More»
