Disseminated Candida parapsilosis infection complicated by native aortic valve endocarditis and peripheral arterial embolization [PDF]

Medical Mycology Case Reports
Fungal infective endocarditis is a rare but highly morbid condition commonly caused by Candida species. Candida parapsilosis is an uncommon cause of native valve endocarditis and is increasingly associated with healthcare exposure.

Candida parapsilosis Virulence and Antifungal Resistance Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Review of Key Determinants

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Candida parapsilosis is the second most common Candida species isolated in Asia, Southern Europe, and Latin America and is often involved in invasive infections that seriously impact human health. This pathogen is part of the psilosis complex, which also

Signaling through Syk or CARD9 Mediates Species-Specific Anti-Candida Protection in Bone Marrow Chimeric Mice

mBio, 2021
The spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and the downstream adaptor protein CARD9 are crucial signaling molecules in antimicrobial immunity. Candida parapsilosis is an emerging fungal pathogen with a high incidence in neonates, while Candida albicans is the most
