(936 cases) regions, Candida albicans predominated (48.4%), followed by C. glabrata (18.0%), C. parapsilosis (17.2%), C. tropicalis (10.5%), and C. krusei (1.9%). Resistance to echinocandins (anidulafungin [2.4%] and micafungin [1.9%]) and azoles (3.5 to 5.6%) was most prevalent among C. glabrata isolates, as determined using recently established CLSI breakpoint criteria. C. glabrata isolates were more common in NAM (23.5%), and C. albicans isolates were more common in APAC (56.9%), with C. parapsilosis (25.6%) and C. tropicalis (17.0%) being more prominent in LAM. Emerging resistance patterns among C. glabrata cases in NAM require focused surveillance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
