Candida / Candidozyma spp.

by anresis

The clinical manifestations of infection with Candida / Candidozyma species range from local mucous membrane infections to candidemia and widespread dissemination with multisystem organ failure. 

Candida albicans is still considered the main causative pathogen, a shift to non-albicans Candida species is observed globally. Candidemia is among the leading causes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections, representing one of the most prevalent nosocomial  invasive fungal infections worldwide. Moreover, the emergence of drug-resistant Candida species are major concerns.
