Candida lusitaniae: frequency of recovery, colonization, infection, and amphotericin B resistance

W G Merz. J Clin Microbiol. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

Candida lusitaniae recovered from 58 specimens from 13 patients represented less than 1% of the yeasts isolated over a 15-month period. The majority of isolates were recovered from respiratory tract, stool, and urine specimens. Of the 13 patients, 1 had a documented infection associated with septicema. Urine isolates from that patient developed resistance to amphotericin B during therapy.
