Abstract: Candida is a common discovery; yeasts can be found in urine that has been contaminated during collection, in individuals with bladder colonization, and in patients with upper UTI. Mostly candiduria patients are asymptomatic, and it is more common in elderly persons. The current investigation was carried out to identify the candida species related with UTI and to identify the most common one from clinically diagnosed cases of candiduria. Samples were taken from patients who had candiduria. Microscopical investigations and species identifications were performed on the specimens using specific media.
