a
Mean values for 6 to 22 test samples.
b
Each probe listed detected multiple isolates of the same species, except for the C. haemulonii probe against one C. haemulonii isolate, strain 90.00.3593 (P < 0.001) and for the C. parapsilosis probe against DNA from C. parapsilosis group III isolates (P < 0.01).
