ABSTRACT

Whereas risk factors for the most common species - I C. albicans i and I C. glabrata - i are well described, little is known on risk factors for I C. krusei i fungemia. 46.5 % of I C. albicans i infected haemato-oncology patients died compared with 62.5 % of the C. I krusei i patients. B Results: b From 1380 patients with I Candida- i positive blood cultures, 786 were I C. albicans i (57 %) and 40 were I C. krusei i (2.9 %). B Methods: b A total of 143 isolates, 74 isolates of I C. glabrata i with 30 susceptible and 19 azole-resistant strains, 17 echinocandin-resistant, 8 multi-resistant strains and 69 isolates of I C. albicans i with 31 susceptible and 16 azole-resistant strains as well as 17 echinocandin-resistant and 4 multi-resistant strains were phenotypically and genotypically characterised. In the I C. krusei i group, all patients with CVC died and all patients without survived.
