  Abstract

Fusarium isolates from 75 Italian patients were identified by molecular methods and their susceptibility to antifungals tested in vitro. F. verticillioides was the most frequent species in deep-seated infections and F. solani in superficial infections. F. solani isolates showed high azole MICs, while F. verticillioides isolates showed low posaconazole MICs.
