Summary: This study aimed to assess the mechanisms leading to Candida spp persistence in women with chronic vulvovaginal candidosis, focusing on strains genotypes, azole resistance, and ability to form biofilms. The results showed that related strains with increased fluconazole resistance and enhanced biofilm formation capacity were correlated with recurrent cases caused by C. glabrata, highlighting the importance of these factors in enhancing persistence in the vaginal mucosa for this particular species.
