Changing trends in epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility patterns of six bloodstream Candida species isolates over a 12-year period in Kuwait.
Changing trends in incidence and antifungal susceptibility patterns of six Candida species causing candidemia in Kuwait between 2006-2017 are reported. A total of 2075 isolates obtained from 1448 patients were analyzed. Identity of Candida species isolates was determined by phenotypic methods and co...
