Abstract

individuals who have a habit of ear-picking. Although fungal identification can be performed using culture methods and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), PCR offers advantages in terms of sensitivity, speed, and result accuracy. This study aimed to detect the presence of Candida albicans in ear swab samples from individuals with an ear-picking habit using the PCR method targeting the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) gene. This research was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design, involving 10 ear swab samples from individuals with an ear-picking habit. Culture examination showed that out of the 10 ear swab samples, 1 sample (10%) tested positive for Candida albicans, while the remaining 9 samples (90%) tested negative. PCR results revealed the presence of the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) gene in Candida albicans. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the PCR method is proven to be more effective and sensitive in detecting the presence of Candida albicans compared to the culture method.
