Susceptibilities of<i>Candida</i>Species to Amphotericin B and Fluconazole: The Emergence of Fluconazole Resistance in<i>Candida tropicalis</i>

Abstract

Non-albicans Candida species had higher rates of resistance to fluconazole than did C. albicans (44 of 395 [11.2%] vs 9 of 237 [3.8%]; P = .002). The increasing rate of fluconazole resistance in C. tropicalis (15%) is important because C. tropicalis is one of the most commonly isolated non-albicans Candida species.
