Brief description/objective

Among 400 species from respiratory samples in Switzerland, was the most frequent species. Non- spp were more prevalent among solid organ transplant recipients and after azole exposure. Azole resistance was detected in 4 isolates, 3 of them with the "environmental" mutation TR/L98H in the gene.
