CohortCandida glabrata ATCC 90030 and 12 clinical isolates from the culture collection at the Clinical Mycology Reference Laboratory, Westmead Hospital, were retrospectively studied. These include three strain pairs (CMRL-1/CMRL-2, CMRL-3/CMRL-4, CMRL-5/ CMRL-6;) from three patients where antifungal resistance developed during treatment.
