Abstract

Candida fermentati isolates make up a small percentage of the clinical isolates of the Candida guilliermondii complex and have a global distribution pattern. With the exception that the MICs of micafungin were significantly lower, the calculated average MICs for C. fermentati were not significantly different from those for C. guilliermondii.
