چکیده انگلیسی
Clinical isolates of Candida were collected from 4 US children's hospitals in 2003. Broth dilution MICs for amphotericin B, fluconazole, voriconazole, caspofungin, posaconazole, and ravuconazole were performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards-approved methodology. A total of 179 clinical isolates were identified and included. Of 179, 77 (43%) were C. albicans. Candida parapsilosis isolates were the second most frequently identified (57/175, 32%), followed by Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, and Candida lusitaniae (approximately 8% each). Caspofungin was the most active agent in vitro against all Candida spp. Fluconazole resistance was seen among C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, and Candida krusei isolates. Newer azoles had improved activity against fluconazole-resistant isolates of Candida. Among isolates of C. parapsilosis, nearly 20% were resistant to amphotericin B. The current study highlights the emergence of C. parapsilosis as a distinct pediatric pathogen with clinical and therapeutic implications. Furthermore, our current susceptibility data include newer antifungal agents that appear to be quite active in vitro and may provide new therapeutic options for the treatment of serious yeast infections in children.
