Multilocus sequence typing of Candida tropicalis shows the presence of different clonal clusters and fluconazole susceptibility profiles in sequential isolates from candidemia patients in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Abstract excerpt

The profiles of 61 Candida tropicalis isolates from 43 patients (28 adults and 15 children) diagnosed with candidemia at two teaching hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil, were characterized by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). For the 14 patients who had bloodstream infections, 32 isolates were serially collected from their blood and/or catheters. Thirty-nine diploid sequence types (DSTs) were differentiated....
