Your Answer
Correct Answer

Explanation

C. krusei is intrinsically resistant to fluconazole and resistance among C. glabrata is increasing. Fluconazole is primarily active against Candida spp. (other than krusei and glabrata), Cryptococcus spp., and Coccidioides immitis. It has limited activity against Blastomyces dermatitidis and Histoplasma capsulatum, and no activity against molds.
