Abstract
The aim of this work is to Study the fungal isolates from genital tract of apparently healthy and diseased buffaloes and cows and identification of the isolated strains by traditional methods and the present investigation reveled that Candida spp. were recovered in higher frequency 53.27% in buffaloes and 42.88 % in cows followed by Aspergillus spp. was 25.81 % in buffaloes and 26.99 % in cows then Penicillium spp. was 9.7 % and 4.76 % in buffaloes and cows respectively, Mucor spp. was 4.5 % and 7.94% in buffaloes and cows respectively, Rhizopus spp. 3.3 % and 6.35 % in buffaloes and cows respectively, Rhodotorulla rubra 1.7 % and 4.76% in buffaloes and cows respectively, Alternaria spp. 1.7 % and 3.17 % in buffaloes and cows respectively, Trichosporon spp. 1.6 % and Absidia spp. was 1.6 % in cows in this study phospholipase activity as a virulence factor of C.albicans was determined by traditional method and use of a recent diagnostic technique for its detection as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) which insured that it is amore sensitive and rabid method . Results of antifungal sensitivity test revealed that the main fungal pathogens isolated from clinical and subclinical genital tract infections cases were highly sensitive to ketoconazole, terbinafine and clotrimazole but highly resistant to fluconazole, grisofulvin and nystatin.
