Abstract

We believe that this is the first study describe the microbiological and molecular characteristics of bloodstream isolates of C. parapsilosis in Korea exhibiting two phenotypes (sinking and floating). An important aspect of our findings is that the sinking phenotype was observed predominantly in isolates harboring a Y132F substitution in the ERG11 gene (92.9%), fluconazole-nonsusceptible (FNS) isolates (86.7%), and clonal BSI isolates (74.4%) of C. parapsilosis .
