Decreased susceptibility to teicoplanin and vancomycin in coagulase-negative Staphylococci isolated from orthopedic-device-associated infections.

abstract：:The identity of each of 239 yeasts, encompassing 9 genera and 30 species, was determined with the Quantum II and API 20C identification systems. With API 20C results accepted as being correct, Quantum II proved to be 92% accurate in identification of common isolates, e.g., Candida albicans and Torulopsis glabrata, but...
