Abstract excerpt
Candida krusei is an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic resistance to fluconazole. This study analyzed 174 C. krusei isolates from bloodstream infections (BSI, n = 115) and non-blood sources (n = 59). Biochemical profiling using the VITEK 2 YST ID Card revealed a significant difference in the TyrA reaction between BSI and non-blood isolates (P < 0.05). Antifungal susceptibility testing via CLSI broth...
