Antifungal resistance among Candida species

Pharmacotherapy. 2001 Aug;21(8 Pt 2):124S-132S. doi: 10.1592/phco.21.12.124s.34511.

Abstract

Isolation of Candida sp less susceptible to traditional therapies and recovery of increasingly resistant isolates during antifungal therapy are growing problems. It is important for clinicians to be aware of trends and mechanisms responsible for the expression of resistance.
