Candida parapsilosis sensu lato in pediatric patients. Identification of cryptic species and antifungal susceptibility testing [PublishAheadOfPrint]

A total of 59 C. parapsilosis sensu stricto and 1 C. orthopsilosis recovered from catheters and blood cultures of pediatric patients of the Northeastern region of Argentina were studied. Susceptibility to azoles, amphotericin B, and echinocandins were tested by broth microdilution method. According to CLSI clinical breakpoints, more than 91% of the strains were azole-susceptible while 15% showed high amphotericin B MICs.
