Abstract:
A survey was done for the most common yeast isolates from different clinical sources from human and animals in addition to environment samples from soil in El-Fayoum Governorate. The total of tested samples was 802 clinical and environmental samples. They consisted of fifty human vaginal swabs, seventy one human throat swabs, three hundred fifty seven animal vaginal swabs, one hundred seventy nine animal nasal swabs and one hundred forty five soil samples. The yeast isolates were representatives for only 3 species Candida albicans (110 isolates), Cryptococcous neoformans (20 isolates) and Rhodotorula rubra (66 isolates), on the basis of the conventional mycological identification tests. The results were confirmed by molecular identification for the representative isolates of Candida albicans and Cryptococcous neoformans recovered from different sources.
