ABSTRACT
This study retrospectively reviews the susceptibility of 135 baseline ICU candidemia isolates (from 1997 to 2007) to nine antifungals as determined by the AFST-EUCAST microdilution method and identifies the most frequent causative agents of confirmed point-source candidemia outbreaks in local intensive care units. A minority of common and rare Candida species displayed decreased susceptibility to all antifungals.
