The College of Science at the University of Basrah organized a seminar entitled (Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Yeast Isolates from Otomycosis Patients and Detection of Azole -Antifungal Resistance Genes) by the graduate student Haider Abdul amair Ali.
The study aims: Detection of resistance genes in Candida species isolated from otomycosis patients in Basra Governorate hospitals and evaluation of some alternative treatments for antifungal-resistant isolates.
Included: Isolate and identify pathogenic yeast from otomycosis patients, Phenotype and genotype detection of yeast isolates by morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods (PCR & ITS sequencing), Determine antifungal susceptibility patterns, Genotypic detection of azole resistance genes (ERG11 & CDR1 genes) and Evaluate the antiseptic agents against resistant Candida species isolates.
