hospital outbreaks with yeasts.	five previous outbreaks of disseminated candidosis due to candida albicans are reviewed and a new outbreak on a neonatal unit in belfast presented. this involved four disseminated cases. the control and definition of outbreaks by morpho-, immunoblot- and dna-typing is discussed. an outbreak of torulopsis glabrata infection involving 23 patients is described. this was defined by dna fingerprinting with the enzyme xba. there were five deaths attributable either completely or in part to the yeast i ...	1991	1679789
retrospective survey of candidaemia in hospitalized patients and molecular investigation of a suspected outbreak.	episodes of candida infection at a teaching hospital were investigated. during a 3-year period from 1998 to 2000, there were 53 cases of candidaemia. candida albicans (64.2 %) was the most common causative species, followed by candida glabrata (17.0 %) and candida parapsilosis (15.1 %). molecular analysis of a cluster of eight infections from a single unit was performed using southern blotting with ca3 probe hybridization. this showed that the patients were each infected by unrelated strains of ...	2005	15770026
