Candida albicans in vaginal secretion of women of childbearing age

Despite being in the XXI century and the many advances in science, vaginal infections caused by Candida albicans continue to be a problem worldwide, this is due to the fact that many of the risk factors that help this infection to occur have yet to be discovered, in addition to the lack of rapid and low-cost diagnostic tests. In women of childbearing age, one of the most common conditions is vaginal infection due to various factors that influence daily life. Candida as well as other microorganisms live in equilibrium as part of the normal vaginal flora, however due to alterations in the vaginal tract the number of Candida can increase, thus producing Candidiasis. Candidiasis is a very common infection caused by yeasts belonging to the genus Candida, among the most common etiological agents is C. albicans followed by other species such as C. glabrata, C. Krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis: the frequency with which these species are isolated from a vaginal exudate have promoted the interest for many people to be interested in the specific identification of these.
