Correlation between phospholipase of Candida albicans and resistance to fluconazole.

abstract：:Candida species constitute the majority of nosocomial fungal pathogens in non-neutropenic patients. Candida infections are still connected with substantial mortality. Recent epidemiological observations indicate a shift to non-albicans species, especially because of a rise of infections caused by C. glabrata, which fr...
