a
Multiple fungal species may have been isolated from culture.
b
Not all fungal species were identified by colony MT-PCR due to the absence of a detection target on the assay.
c
Colony MT-PCR identified other yeasts in addition to the pathogen identified by culture.
d
Pathogens were identified directly from general-purpose mycological media rather than from CHROMagar Candida.
