Background: Candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal disease causing local or systemic invasive infections,
especially in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. Some of Candida species exhibit greater
resistance to antifungals and their misidentification by available laboratory diagnostic methods lead to difficulty
in control and treatment.
Aim of the study: To search for pathogenic C. auris and C. kefyr isolates from specimens taken up from
inpatients and outpatients from different hospitals or private laboratory in Kirkuk city, to test their
susceptibilities to various antifungals and the genetic background for their resistance pattern to the tested
antifungals.
