420. A Rapid PCR Assay Detects Fungemia Due to Mixed Candida Species That Is Missed by the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory

BACKGROUND: As identified by blood cultures, ~4% of candidemia is caused by mixed Candida spp. Studies of PCR-based diagnostics, however, suggest that ≥ 2 spp. can be detected in 6%–36% of candidemia. Our objective was to use molecular methods to determine rates of mixed Candida spp. fungemia at our...
