Epidemiology and Changes in Patient‐Related Factors from 1997 to 2009 in Clinical Yeast Isolates Related to Dermatology, Gynaecology, and Paediatrics

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
From 1997 to 2009, 1,862 dermatology, gynaecology, and paediatrics (DGP) associated clinical yeast isolates were analysed for species occurrence, specimen origin and type, (multi‐) resistance pattern, and testing period. The top seven of the isolated DGP‐associated species remained the same as compared to total medical wards, with Candida albicans (45%)
