This study included 100 different candidal isolates that were recovered from different clinical specimens. Isolated candida were subcultured on Sabouraud Dextrose agar (SDA), and were grouped into two groups; (47 isolates) C.albicans and (53 isolates) NCAC according to results of germ tube test. Antifungal susceptibility testing was done using disk diffusion method according to CLSI 2004 guidelines ER -
