摘要
The aim of this study was to determine the distribution and antifungal susceptibility profile of yeast species isolated from neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in northeast of Argentina. With this purpose 92 strains isolated from 25 blood stream cultures, 20 venous catheters, 23 suprapubic aspirations and 24 rectal swabs were studied. Candida albicans and C. parapsilosis appeared with similar frequencies (36%) in blood stream isolates. Candida parapsilosis (50%) was the most frequent catheters colonizer and C. tropicalis (54.2%) was the most frequent yeast associated with gastrointestinal tract colonization. Candida krusei, C. glabrata and Trichosporon cutaneum appeared with a very low frequency. A high rate of susceptibility to amphotericin B, fluconazole, and itraconazole was observed.
