Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals high antifungal resistance in yeast isolates, underscoring treatment challenges.

Key Points

  • The study found that 90% of yeast isolates were resistant to amphotericin B, indicating high antifungal resistance.
  • Among 308 yeast isolates, the distribution included 38% Candida albicans and 50% non-albicans Candida species.
  • Laboratory testing used VITEK-2 for antifungal susceptibility determination, using CLSI guidelines for interpretation.
  • Tracking antifungal susceptibility patterns is essential for effective management of yeast infections among hospitalized patients.
