Candidaemia associated with decreased in vitro fluconazole susceptibility: is Candida speciation predictive of the susceptibility pattern?

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Candidaemia is often treated with fluconazole in the absence of susceptibility testing. We examined factors associated with candidaemia caused by Candida isolates with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole. METHODS: We identified consecutive episodes of candidaemia at two hospitals from 2001 to 2007. Species identification followed CLSI methodology and fluconazole susceptibility was determined by...
