Abstract	The present study was undertaken to investigate biofilm formation among the clinical Candida isolates from blood and cervical swabs. A total of 16 Candida blood isolates from neonates and 21 cervical isolates from pregnant women with vulvovaginitis were included in the study. Each isolate was identified to species level by various phenotypic tests. Biofilm formation was detected by colorimetric method. C. glabrata and C. albicans were the major isolates from blood and cervical swab respectively. The biofilm formation was found in 14 (87.5 %) blood isolates and only in 4 (19.1 %) cervical isolates.
