Antifungal susceptibility testing was done using the disk diffusion method. Results: Vaginal swab
cultures yielded Candida growth in 63 cases (50.4%). Candida albicans was the predominant isolated
species (60.3%) while the most common non-albicans species was Candida glabrata (12.7%). Forty-
five (71.4%) and fifty-five (87.3%) Candida isolates were correctly speciated by Rice Tween-80 Agar
and API 20C AUX, respectively, while fifty-seven isolates (90.5%) were correctly assigned into the 3
groups of yeasts identified by CAN2 agar. Amphotericin B was more effective than azoles against
vaginal Candida isolates. Conclusion: C. albicans is the most common species associated with VVC.
