Nosocomial Candida albicans acquisition in a geriatric unit: epidemiology and evidence for person-to-person transmission.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Jan 2001

Fanello S, Bouchara J P, Jousset N, Delbos V, LeFlohic A M

Abstract excerpt

This prospective study, which included 69 patients over a two-month period, was conducted to evaluate the incidence of community-acquired carriage and hospital-acquired yeasts in elderly patients hospitalized in a short stay care unit. Furthermore, possible person-to-person transmission was investigated by means of genotyping the Candida albicans isolates obtained from samples (throat swabs, urine and stools)...
