[Identification and typing of yeast isolates from hospital patients in Mexico City].
Nosocomial yeast infections have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. This study presents the frequency of yeasts isolated from different biological products from a Mexico City hospital's patients during one year. C. albicans was isolated in 72.3% of patients, followed by C. glabrata (13.4%) and C. parapsilosis (8%). Twenty different morphotypes were identified and the serotype B was the most frequent (79%).
