DALBEN DOTA, Kelen Fátima et al. Susceptibility to vaginal yeast in most used antifungal in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp.561-566. ISSN 0325-2957.

In vitro antifungal susceptibility was determined in the 78 yeasts isolated from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) from the city of Maringá/Parana/Brazil, assisted in the Laboratory of Teaching and Research in Clinical Analysis of the State University of Maringá, from 01 January 2005 to December 31, 2006. Its sensibility in vitro was tested according to microdilution method in front of ketoconazol (KETO), fluconazole (FLU), itraconazole (ITRA), nistatin (NIS) and amphotericin B (AMB). For KET, 41.5% of the C. albicans and 96.0% of the C. non-albicans showed resistance (100.0% of C. glabrata) and for FLU, only 3.8% of the isolates of C. albicans and 8.0% of C. glabrata showed resistance. Only 1.9% of the C. albicans and 20% of the C. no-albicans were resistant. For AMB, 5.7% of the C. albicans and 8% of the C. no-albicans (only C. glabrata), were resistant. There were no isolations resistant from NIST, however, there was a high frequency of dose-dependent sensibility (SDD) in vitro. These data makes it possible to confirm the growing necessity of the performance of identification tests and in vitro antifungal susceptibility to antifungals to establish the correct treatment of CVV.
