Species distribution and antifungal susceptibility among clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis complex from India.

Background: Candida parapsilosis is recognized as a species complex: Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are three distinct but closely related species.

Aims: To determine the species and antifungal susceptibility of members of the C. parapsilosis complex, isolated from clinical samples.
