Fungal pathogens cause significant human morbidity and mortality globally, where there is a
propensity to infect vulnerable people such as the immunocompromised ones. There is …

A reliable estimate of Candida parapsilosis antifungal susceptibility in candidemia patients
is increasingly important to track the spread of C. parapsilosis bloodstream infections and …

Purpose The non-albicans Candida (NAC) species have recently gained great importance
worldwide due to the increasing proportion in candida causing bloodstream infections. This …

Members of the Candida haemulonii species complex are multidrug-resistant emergent
yeast pathogens able to cause superficial and invasive infections in risk populations. Fungal …

Avoiding antifungal's overuse and selecting the best drug, dose and duration, when they are
needed, is fundamental. Knowledge of risk factors for resistance, microbiological diagnosis …

Candidemia is the most common form of invasive fungal infection associated with several
risk factors, and one of them is the use of medical devices, to which microbial biofilms can …

SUMMARY A significant increase in the incidence of Candida-mediated infections has been
observed in the last decade, mainly due to rising numbers of susceptible individuals …

Antifungal susceptibility of Candida species is decreasing. Successful treatment for
antifungal-resistant candida infection is challenging and associated with significant mortality …

Invasive Candida infections threaten human health due to the increasing incidence of
resistance to the currently available antifungal agents. Amphotericin B (AMB) is the gold …

OBJECTIVE: Recent research has suggested that fungemia may demonstrate an
