Oral fungal infections have become frequently happened, especially among
immunocompromised patients, this thesis aimed to study incidence and prevalence of oral
Candida infection in Gharyan area. A total of 140 oral samples were collected using
sterile cotton swabs from patients. Samples were cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar,
Candida spp. were cultivated and identified by using chrome-agar into different species,
and the incidence of oral candidiasis was 47.9% (67/140). Most predominant species was
C. albicans (85%), C. glabrata (6%), while C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis (3%
for each one). Statistical analysis showed that most variables resulted in no statistical
significance, regarding the occurrence of infection(age, gender, dental procedure,
diabetes, hypertension, smoking, cancer, and oral hygiene), except for pregnancy cases.
All Isolates of Candida spp. are susceptible to experimental antibiotics which was
Amphotericin B, Miconazole, and Nystatin, with different degrees of sensitivity among
Candida spp. On other hand, regarding the effectiveness of clove extract, whether
aqueous or alcoholic, it showed effectiveness that even surpassed commonly used
antibiotics by varying degrees with each Candida spp. The study indicates that clove
extract have strong and promising effect on Candida isolates.
