Abstract:
Species identification using both phenotypic and molecular methods and antifungal susceptibility tests was carried out with 60 uncommon clinical yeasts. Our data show that phenotypic methods were insufficient for correct identification (only 25%) and that most of the wrongly identified strains showed a resistant antifungal profile.
