ABSTRACT Among 158 Candida glabrata bloodstream isolates collected from numerous centers in China, a resistance to fluconazole was seen in 8.9%. Three isolates (1.9%) were resistant to all echinocandins. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) revealed that sequence type 7 ([ST7] 65.8%) was the most common type, followed by ST3 (7.6%). PDR1 polymorphisms were associated with the acquisition of fluconazole resistance in C. glabrata isolates, while MSH2 polymorphisms were associated with the STs and microsatellite genotypes, irrespective of fluconazole resistance.
