Abstract

This study was conducted in Benghazi city, Oral fungal microbiome were isolated from oral cavities of 92 diabetic patients and 40 non diabetic volunteers. Swab taken from their oral cavities then  inoculated  in Sabauruod  Dextrose  Agar (SDA) and incubated at 27 °C  for  two to three days for colony study after  that  make subcultures  using  Potato dextrose agar ( PDA ) for microscopic study. Identification of oral fungi shows that Out of 132 subject,  38 shows no fungal growth , 63 samples of candida (53 pure candida and 10 cases candida mixed with other fungi), 7 fungal species other than Candida  have been  identified with conformation from  Assiut University  Mycology Centre (AUMC) in Egypt which were : 7 samples of Asperogillus spp (6 in diabetics &1in non diabetics ), 8 samples of Alternaria .alternate (5 in diabetics & 3 in non-diabetics), 3 samples of Fusarium  foetens (2 in diabetics & 1in non diabetics ), 4 samples of Cladosporium  herbarum. (Diabetics), 2 samples of Stemphylium botryosum (in diabetics), 2 samples of Geosmithia lavendula. (Diabetics), 5 samples of Penicillum crustosum   (diabetics). The Candida species identified  by  Quyfia chest hospital  Laboratory  (Phoenix 100 Apparatus – BD, USA), .candida species were identified as : Candida albicans  (44 cases), Wangilla dermatitidis (Saccaromycets)  (7cases Candida dubliniensis ( 4 cases ),  Geotricum  species ( 4cases ),Candida sake ( 4 cases).  Asperogillus species were: 2 samples Asperogillus.nigger, 3 samples A. fumigatus and 2 samples A. flavus.
