Candida vulturna, the Next Fungal Menace? A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Introduction The yeast Candida vulturna is a member of the Candida haemulonii species complex, like its close relative Candida auris. Members of this species complex, including C. vulturna, often display reduced susceptibility to one or more antifungal classes. Human invasive infections by C.
