The effective management of Candiduria depends upon proper identification of Candida species and their antifungal susceptibility test. Therefore, this cross-sectional study is conducted to assess the occurrence of different Candida species in urine and determine their antifungal susceptibility pattern from productive age group 15- 65. The isolation and identification of Candida species from clean catch midstream urine were done by culturing on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with chloramphenicol followed by germ tube test, sugar fermentation test, chlamydospore production test, and further differentiated by using CHROM agar. The antifungal susceptibility test was done on Muller Hinton Agar with 2% glucose and 0.5 µg/mL methylene blue, and result interpretation was done as recommended to CLSI guidelines (M 44-A2).
