Rapid identification of fluconazole resistance using Chrom agar Candida.
All though extremely rare 10 years ago, antifungal drug resistance is becoming a major problem in certain populations, especially in those infected with HIV. This study was undertaken to study the resistance of Candida species isolated in our hospital to Fluconazole using Chrom agar Candida. ⋯ The MIC of the 16 strains were done using RPMI 1640 medium by macro broth dilution method. MIC of 9 strains was 64 & > 64 ug/ml of 6 strains 32 ug/ml and 1 strain 16 ug/ml.
