Molecular and Epidemiological Investigation of Fluconazole-resistant <i>Candida parapsilosis</i>—Georgia, United States, 2021

Abstract

Whole-genome sequencing results showing that fluconazole-resistant <i>C parapsilosis</i> isolates from Georgia surveillance demonstrated low genetic diversity compared with susceptible isolates and their association with a facility network centered around 2 long-term acute care hospitals suggests clonal spread of fluconazole-resistant <i>C parapsilosis</i>. Further studies are needed to better understand the sudden emergence and transmission of fluconazole-resistant <i>C parapsilosis</i>.
