METHODS Data on 391 681 infants (Pediatrix Medical Group) aged 22 to 42 weeks at birth from 248 hospitals within 33 US states (1998-2006) for birth weight, length, h...

A previously described microbroth kinetic system (J. Meletiadis, J. F. Meis, J. W. Mouton, and P. E. Verweij, J. Clin. Microbiol. 39:478-484, 2001) based on continuous monitoring of changes in the optical density of fungal growth was used to describe turbidimetric growth curves of different filamentous fungi in the presence of increasing concentrations of antifungal drugs. Therefore, 24 clinica...
