| Abstract |
We are currently witnessing a constant and ongoing change of the epidemiological pictures of yeast resistance to antifungal agents, related to the type of host, etiology of the disease, the microorganism involved, and its mechanisms of resistance. This epidemiological situation complicates management of patients with infections of the bloodstream due to species of the genus Candida, exhibiting a high mortality and an increase in the use of anti-fungal agents, as well as the need to develop reliable methods to conduct sensitivity studies. Therefore, local and regional monitoring is important in order to know the sensitivity profile and the distribution of Candida species so as to start an adequate anti-fungal therapy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 June 2018.
All research outputs
#16,728,456
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#144
of 458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#212,862
of 346,639 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#7
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 346,639 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
