Gordona terrae central nervous system infection in an immunocompetent patient.

abstract：:Antifungal susceptibility testing of pathogenic molds is being developed. A simple screening semisolid agar antifungal susceptibility (SAAS) test accurately measures susceptibilities of yeasts. The performance of the SAAS screening test for filamentous fungi was assessed by comparing MICs of four antifungals (amphoter...
