Risk factors for fluconazole-resistant Candida glabrata bloodstream infections.
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by Candida glabrata have increased substantially. Candida glabrata is often associated with resistance to fluconazole therapy. However, to our knowledge, risk factors for fluconazole-resistant C glabrata BSIs have not been studied. METHODS A case-case-control study was conducted at 3 hospitals from January 1, 2003, to May 31, 2007. The 2 case gr...
متن کاملAntibiotic exposure as a risk factor for fluconazole-resistant Candida bloodstream infection.
Recent exposure to azoles is an important risk factor for infection with fluconazole-resistant Candida spp., but little is known about the role of antibacterial drug exposure in the emergence of drug-resistant Candida. We did a prospective nationwide surveillance study of candidemia in Israel and analyzed the propensity score-adjusted association between antifungal and antibacterial drug exposu...
متن کاملBiofilm formation is a risk factor for mortality in patients with Candida albicans bloodstream infection—Scotland, 2012–2013
Bloodstream infections caused by Candida species remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Biofilm formation by Candida species is an important virulence factor for disease pathogenesis. A prospective analysis of patients with Candida bloodstream infection (n = 217) in Scotland (2012-2013) was performed to assess the risk factors associated with patient mor...
متن کاملA case of breakthrough Candida parapsilosis fungemia during micafungin therapy for a Candida glabrata bloodstream infection
We describe a case of breakthrough Candida parapsilosis fungemia in an 80-year-old woman with pyoderma gangrenosum and rheumatoid arthritis. C. parapsilosis was detected in blood culture while the patient was treated with micafungin for a Candida glabrata bloodstream infection. The breakthrough infection was successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B.
متن کاملCandida bracarensis bloodstream infection in an immunocompromised patient.
Candida bracarensis is a recently described Candida species which is phenotypically similar to Candida glabrata. A case of C. bracarensis bloodstream infection in a bone marrow transplant patient is described and confirms this organism as an opportunistic human pathogen. The organism can be distinguished from C. glabrata by its white color on CHROMagar and by DNA sequence analysis using D1/D2 a...
