Cross-resistance phenotypes of fluconazole-resistant Candida species: results with 655 clinical isolates with different methods.
Candida species test results with two broth macrodilution antifungal susceptibility methods were compared using 655 clinical isolates, and the frequency of fluconazole resistance and phenotypes of azole cross resistance are detailed. A method with an 80% inhibition endpoint (as compared to clear tube endpoint) suggested greater fluconazole susceptibility to C. albicans but had a less pronounced effect on C. glabrata, and seemed to have a negligible influence on results with C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis. The latter were grouped as susceptible and resistant (based on achievable blood levels), respectively, by both methods. Cross resistance was method dependent and more pronounced with itraconazole than ketoconazole. In vivo correlations are needed to validate the groupings proposed by any in vitro method.

Working with the elderly: do student nurses care for it?
This study investigates neophyte student nurses' attitudes to working with the elderly through placing them in relation to attitudes to other nursing career options and by exploring student nurses' reasons for such attitudes. The results are based on a questionnaire answered by 610 students from five NSW teaching institutions. The results indicate that nurses rate working with the elderly very poorly, and that this negativity is based on unfavourable stereotypes of aged persons and their care. These findings are placed in the context of projected demographic changes and the pressures these will place on the health care system and its need for nurses qualified in this area of work.
