Identification and Characterization of a Neutral Locus for Knock-in Purposes in C. parapsilosis. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2020 Invasive fungal infections caused by Candida species affect approximately 700,000 people worldwide resulting in 300,000 deaths annually. Besides Candida albicans, other members of the genus have gained relevance in the last two decades, including C. parapsilosis whose incidence is particularly high amongst low birth weight neonates.

Emergence and circulation of azole-resistant C. albicans, C. auris and C. parapsilosis bloodstream isolates carrying Y132F, K143R or T220L Erg11p substitutions in Colombia. [PDF]
Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2023 MethodsOver a four-year period, 123 Candida bloodstream isolates were collected at a quaternary care hospital. The isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and their fluconazole (FLC) susceptibility patterns were assessed according to CLSI guidelines. Subsequently, sequencing of ERG11, TAC1 or MRR1, and efflux pump activity were performed for resistant

Successful Treatment of an Infant Infected with Refractory C. parapsilosis with Caspofungin [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2014 Neonatal Candida infections are the leading cause of invasive fungal infections that might cause severe morbidity or mortality in a large majority of those affected. Although Candida albicans has been the most common species, Candida parapsilosis is increasingly being recognized as an important cause of invasive candidiasis in neonates.
