title: Speciation and amphotericin B sensitivity studies on blood isolates of Candida from burned patients.
abstract: Methods of speciating Candida isolates from clinical specimens are described and the necessity of speciation is emphasized. Differences in susceptibility of C. albicans and C. tropicalis to amphotericin B were observed and the implications of this in relation to treatment with amphotericin B and the development of resistance are discussed.
