Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a prevalent fungal infection affecting women globally, with increasing
antifungal resistance presenting major treatment challenges. This study aimed to assess the prevalence
and antifungal resistance patterns of Candida species among patients with VVC at a tertiary care hospital
in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Fifty vaginal swab samples were collected from symptomatic patients and
analysed using both phenotypic and molecular techniques for precise species identification and antifungal
susceptibility testing.
