This study aimed to estimate salivary <jats:italic>Candida Albicans<\/jats:italic> in asthmatic patients taking anti-asthmatics medication. A prospective study was performed at the Oral Pathology and Microbiology Department of S.B. Patil Dental College and Hospital, Bidar, Karnataka, India, between June 2018 to November 2018. The research comprised a total of 100 individuals, 50 of whom were asthmatics, and 50 healthy controls who were age and sex-matched to the asthmatics. Saliva was collected for 5\u201310 minutes in a sterile container, and samples were transferred to the laboratory in cold chain conditions. Serial dilution was prepared for the saliva samples, and 50:1 standard dilution was inoculated on SAD (Sabouraud Dextrose Agar) culture media by lawn culture method. Some part of the culture plate was inoculated with <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> organisms. 32 people had <jats:italic>candida<\/jats:italic> growth, and 18 individuals did not have any <jats:italic>candidal<\/jats:italic> development at all. 18 people were in the 400 CFU\/ml group, and 32 individuals were in the 401 CFU\/ml group, respectively. It was 0.000 in the 400 colony forming unit\/milliliter group, and 27200 in the 401 CFU\/ml group, with 0.00 being the median. There was a notable difference between study and control groups in terms of colony forming unit per milliliter (P=0.000). The growth of <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> in asthmatics patients is very high compared to healthy people. Anti-asthmatic medication makes the oral habitat prone to attack from opportunistic infections like oral <jats:italic>candidiasis<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25122\/jml-2022-0142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,20]],"date-time":"2022-11-20T05:33:31Z","timestamp":1668922411000},"page":"1110-1114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Salivary Candida albicans in asthmatic patients taking anti-asthmatic medication"],"prefix":"10.25122","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Abidullah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Dental & Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Al Baha University, Al Baha, Saudi Arabia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Mohammed Abidullah, Department of Dental & Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Al Baha University, Al Baha, Saudi Arabia.
