Candida species description in case of vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy
Abstract
Studying the Candida spp. species characteristics and vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy is of current importance today. This paper reveals the features of etiological structure of urogenital tract pathogenic organisms (C. albicans‑dominated ones) and provides records of C. tropicalis. C. krusei and C. pseudotropicalis. As reported, the fungi strains are observed in monoform and in association with other microorganisms. Unlike the other species, C. pseudotropicalis organisms are not found in aggregations.
