Kodamaea ohmeri Isolates from Patients in a University Hospital: Identification, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Analysis

Abstract excerpt

Data on clinical isolates of Kodamaea (Pichia) ohmeri, an emerging fungal pathogen, are scarce. Over the past 5 years, we identified yeast isolates from nine patients with fungemia as K. ohmeri by using the API 20C system. Here, we reanalyzed these isolates first by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) regions and then by growing the isolates on CHROMagar Candida medium and subjecting them to...
