Abstract excerpt
Candida lusitaniae is an important nosocomial pathogen that may express resistance to one or more antifungal agents including amphotericin B. We investigated the genotypic diversity and antifungal susceptibility among 47 clinical isolates from 33 patients hospitalized in 12 different medical centers. Strain delineation was performed by restriction endonuclease analysis of genomic DNA (REAG) with the restriction...
