Antifungal susceptibility of 95 isolates (45 Candida parapsilosis, 35 C. albicans, 7 C. tropicalis, 4 C. krusei, 3 C. glabrata, and 1 C. kefyr) was determined against fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, caspofungin, and amphotericin B.Results: C. albicans was the most common yeast (48.0%), followed by C. parapsilosis. Almost all strains showed low minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values to all six antifungals tested. Only 2 of 45 C. parapsilosis isolates were resistant to fluconazole, one was susceptible in a dose-dependent manner (SDD) to itraconazole, and 14 were nonsusceptible to caspofungin.Conclusions: Increasing prevalence of C. parapsilosis emphasizes a need for better catheter care and continuous surveillance programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
