RESUMO

We present data on the prevalence of Candida species isolated from inpatients in three Singapore hospitals and from vaginal samples collected at community clinics. Strikingly, ∼20% of the isolates from blood and vaginal samples were fluconazole-resistant species. By analyzing species-specific gene sequence signatures, we identified Candida dubliniensis from both groups of patients.
