Antifungal susceptibility profiles of candidemia isolates on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and reliability of Etest compared to Sensititre YeastOne [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Candidemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The rising prevalence of non-albicans Candida species (NACs), which often show diverse antifungal susceptibility, complicates treatment.
