Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Background and Purpose: and other yeasts is becoming a major health concern worldwide. However, systematic data on the epidemiology and the yeast species infections in Malaysia is still limited. In this regard, the present research aimed to identify pathogenic yeasts utilizing an economically practical and easily available molecular technique and evaluate the prevalence of pathogenic yeasts in a Malaysian tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: Yeast isolates were collected from Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital, Kedah, Malaysia, from October 2020 to October 2021. Molecular identification of the isolates was performed by one enzyme-based polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results: (1) were among the other yeasts identified. Conclusion: .
