Abstract
- We describe an outbreak ofCandida albicanssystemic infection involving five premature infants in a neonatal intensive care unit. Molecular and epidemiologic characterization of allC. albicansisolates was performed by DNA fingerprinting with the 27A probe. This genotypic analysis demonstrated that the isolates were identical, providing evidence for the circulation of a uniqueC. albicansstrain.
