Clinical Information
Candida species are the fourth leading cause of nosocomial infections and are frequent causes of community-acquired infections.
Antifungal susceptibility testing may aid in the management of patients with invasive infections due to Candida species or patients who appear to be experiencing therapeutic failure.
The Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute has approved the use of a broth microdilution method for determining the susceptibility of Candida species.
