Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a global health problem affecting ∼75% of women at least once in their lifetime. Here we examined the epidemiology of VVC in a patient cohort to identify the causative organisms associated with VVC. Biofilm-forming capacity and antifungal sensitivity profiles were also assessed. We report a shifting prevalence of species with heterogeneous biofilm-forming capacity, which is associated with altered antifungal drug sensitivity.
