Title: A 10-year survey of antifungal susceptibility of candidemia isolates from intensive care unit patients in Greece.

Authors: Dimopoulos G, Velegraki A, Falagas ME.

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.
