Abstract excerpt
The echinocandin susceptibilities of 122 Candida glabrata complex strains (including 5 Candida nivariensis and 3 Candida bracarensis strains) were evaluated by microdilution and compared with the results from a molecular tool able to detect FKS mutations. No echinocandin resistance was detected. The PCR results coincide with the MIC data in 99.25% of the cases (1 C. glabrata strain was misidentified as resistant)...
