Invasive candidiasis in selected haematology departments in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - microbiological result of the CAN CELL project
2011
Abstract
The study included 63 isolates from 61 patients. The most frequently isolated species were C. albicans and C. glabrata (28 % and 19 %, respectively).
However, after exclusion of isolates from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, the percentage changed in favour of C. albicans and C. parapsilosis (25 % and 17 %, respectively). The MIC data showed a high susceptibility of yeast to echinocandins and amphotericin B.
Ten (16 %) strains were cross-resistant to azoles (mostly C. glabrata).
