Frequency of appearance of C. kefyr strains, their diagnosis, susceptibility to drugs and importance in pathogenesis of reproductive tract mycoses were investigated. The investigated material consisted of 2717 strains, and there were 67 strains of C. kefyr isolated from vaginal mucous membrane. C. kefyr strains constituted 2.5% of total number of 2717 isolated strains and 8.2% within fungi other than C. albicans species. Vaginal mycosis caused by C. kefyr occurs in presence of Lactobacillus sp. and correct values of pH in vaginal contents, however changing leukocyte number was observed. Clinical symptoms and complaints regarding reproductive tract were present in 47.8% of patients with C. kefyr infections. Investigating susceptibility to antimycotic drugs, regardless of appointed method, low susceptibility of C. kefyr strains to amphotericin B was noted (79% resistant strains). Strain of C. kefyr were sensitive to all remaining drugs.
