Prevalence and species distribution of Candida bloodstream infection in children and adults in two teaching university hospitals in Egypt: first report of Candida kefyr

Abstract

C. albicans is still the primary species isolated from pediatrics and adults with candidemia despite the considerable shift to the non-albicans species. C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis are the most prevalent NAC. The increased prevalence of uncommon Candida species is alarming and necessitates a prompt stewardship program.
