TLDR
The high rate of resistance to triazoles observed in the study suggests the necessity of the association of laboratory exams to clinical diagnosis to minimize the practice of empirical treatments that can contribute to the development of resistance in the isolates.About:

TL;DR: This review of Candida species with a special emphasis on Candida albicans discusses specific areas such as biofilm structure and development, cell morphology and biofilm formation, biofilm-associated gene expression, the cell surface and adherence, the extracellular matrix, bio film metabolism, and bio film drug resistance in vulvovaginitis biofilms as an important virulence factor in fungi.

Recent advances on topical antimicrobials for skin and soft tissue infections and their safety concerns.
P. L. Lam,Kenneth Ka Ho Lee,Raymond S.M. Wong,Gregory Cheng,Zhaoxiang Bian,Chung Hin Chui,Roberto Gambari +6 more
TL;DR: Topical antimicrobials retain the following features: they are able to escape the enzymatic degradation and rapid clearance in the gastrointestinal tract or the first-pass metabolism during oral administration, resulting in a reduction of microbial proliferation at infected skin sites.

TL;DR: The results support the use of azoles for empirical therapy of uncomplicated candidal vulvovaginitis and suggest recurrent episodes are more often caused by non-albicans species, for which azole agents are less likely to be effective.
