  • Title: Prevalence rates and antifungal susceptibility profiles of the Candida parapsilosis species complex: results from a nationwide surveillance of candidaemia in Brazil.
    Author: Gonçalves SS, Amorim CS, Nucci M, Padovan AC, Briones MR, Melo AS, Colombo AL.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2010 Jul; 16(7):885-7. PubMed ID: 19686280.
    Abstract:
    The genetically heterogeneous taxon Candida parapsilosis was recently reclassified into three species: Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis. The prevalences of these species among 141 bloodstream isolates tested in Brazil were 88% for C. parapsilosis, 9% for C. orthopsilosis, and 3% for C. metapsilosis. Except for three C. orthopsilosis isolates that were considered resistant to 5-flucytosine, all isolates representing the different species of this complex were susceptible to polyenes, triazoles and caspofungin.
