| the epidemiology of candidemia in two united states cities: results of a population-based active surveillance. | we conducted prospective, active population-based surveillance for candidemia (defined as any candida species isolated from blood) in atlanta and san francisco (total population, 5.34 million) during 1992-1993. the average annual incidence of candidemia at both sites was 8 per 100,000 population. the highest incidence (75 per 100,000) occurred among infants </=1 year old. in 19% of patients, candidemia developed prior to or on the day of admission. underlying medical conditions included cancer ( ... | 1999 | 10524958 |
| multilocus sequence type analysis reveals both clonality and recombination in populations of candida glabrata bloodstream isolates from u.s. surveillance studies. | the human commensal yeast candida glabrata is becoming increasingly important as an agent of nosocomial bloodstream infection. however, relatively little is known concerning the genetics and population structure of this species. we have analyzed 230 incident bloodstream isolates from previous and current population-based surveillance studies by using multilocus sequence typing (mlst). our results show that in the u.s. cities of atlanta, ga; baltimore, md; and san francisco, ca during three time ... | 2010 | 20190071 |
