Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of <i>Candida</i> Species Isolated From Water Treatment Unit and Urine From Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in General Hospital and University Teaching Hospital in Yaounde, Cameroon. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol
Background: Improper maintenance of water used for hemodialysis poses a serious risk for patients by allowing the growth of biological contaminants like Candida species in the water system. These contaminants can be transmitted to patients through hemodialysis, exposing them to an increased risk of candidiasis.

Nosocomial Candiduria: A Review [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2001
Fungal infections of the urinary tract, especially those caused by Candida species, are becoming increasingly common. Often the line between Candida colonization and infection is blurred. Diagnosis typically depends on the discovery of pyuria with high colony Candida counts in the urine.

Whole genome sequencing analysis demonstrates therapy‐induced echinocandin resistance in Candida auris isolates

Mycoses, Volume 66, Issue 12, Page 1079-1086, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Candida auris is an emerging, multidrug‐resistant yeast, causing outbreaks in healthcare facilities. Echinocandins are the antifungal drugs of choice to treat candidiasis, as they cause few side effects and resistance is rarely found. Previously, immunocompromised patients from Kuwait with C.
