Candida fermentati isolates make up a small percentage of the clinical isolates of theCandida guilliermondii complex and have a global distribution pattern. With the exception that the MICs of micafungin were significantly lower, the calculated average MICs forC. fermentati were not significantly different from those forC. guilliermondii .
