Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Echinocandins are recommended for Candia glabrata candidemia. Mutations in the FKS1 and FKS2 genes are associated with echinocandin resistance. Few studies have assessed risk factors for FKS mutant isolates and outcomes in patients receiving micafungin treatment. METHODS: Patients with C. glabrata bloodstream infection admitted to a large, tertiary care hospital between 2009 and 2012 were included in...
