Table 3
Prevalence and quantification of yeast colonizers in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and controls.
| | PD patients (n = 21) | Controls (n = 27) | value |
| Yeast prevalence | 9.6% (2/21) | 33.3% (9/27) | 0.083 | Yeasts (Log10 CFU mL−1) | 2.39 ± 0.80 | 2.55 ± 0.82 | 0.803 | Species prevalence | Candida albicans | 4.8% (1/21) | 33.3% (9/27) | 0.029 | Candida glabrata | 0% | 3.7% (1/27) | >0.999 | Candida carpophila | 4.8% (1/21) | 0% | 0.438 |
