Abstract

The researches were made during October 2009 – June 2010 within the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. A total number of 24 Candida spp. strains isolated from both healthy and diseased animals were tested regarding the sensitivity to physical factors (temperature, ultraviolet radiations and microwaves) and chemical products (alcohol 70% and sodium hydroxide 1,2,3 and 4% concentrations). The tested strains proved to be sensitive to physical and factors, mostly to ultraviolet radiations, microwaves and alcohol
