Fluconazole susceptibilities of Candida species and distribution of species recovered from blood cultures over a 5-year period

Abstract excerpt

The distribution and fluconazole susceptibilities of Candida species isolated over a 5-year period were investigated. Susceptibilities were determined by using a new microtiter procedure and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) proposed standard. The new method correlated well with the NCCLS proposed standard and gave very clear end points. Results indicate that there are...
