Abstract
We report the first identification of a fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis (FR- Cp ) strain in our hospital, which subsequently caused an outbreak involving 17 patients (12 deaths) within a 26-bed French intensive care unit. Microsatellite genotyping confirmed that all FR- Cp isolates belonged to the same clone.
