Abstract excerpt
Candida kefyr is an increasingly reported pathogen in patients with hematologic malignancies. We studied a series of bloodstream isolates that exhibited reduced echinocandin susceptibilities (RES). Clinical and surveillance isolates were tested for susceptibilities to all three echinocandins, and those isolates displaying RES to one or more echinocandins were selected for molecular and biochemical studies. The...
