Molecular Characterization of Candida Auris
- Conditions
- Oral Fungal Infection
- Registration Number
- NCT04121871
- Lead Sponsor
- Islamia University of Bahawalpur
- Brief Summary
Candida auris is emerging fungal opportunistic pathogen in developing countries. Much studies has been conducted on Candida albicans. there was a dire need to investigate this alarming threat. Our hypothesis is that by recording the patients diagnosed with oropharygneal candidiasis and collecting clinical swab samples from these patients will be fruitful if microbiological isolation, identification and molecular characterization will be done. So this is the first study on C. auris in south punjab, Pakistan. Aim of this study is to collect epidemiological data of C. auris.
