Garrahan, Buenos Aires was conducted between September 2001 and September 2003. Objectives: To learn the distribution of yeast species and to evaluate their in vitro antifungal susceptibility profile. Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined according to the CLSI M27-A2 procedure, and time kill curves against amphotericin B were also performed. Results-conclusions: The species isolated were Candida parapsilosis (32.6% of isolates); Candida albicans (26.5%), Candida tropicalis (24.5%), and other yeasts (16.4%). Candida isolates were susceptible to the antifungals evaluated, but amphotericin B-tolerant isolates were detected using time kill curves. |
