The majority of the life threatening infections are caused by well known opportunistic pathogens, like Candida albicans and Aspergillis fungus, while less common species include
Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis4-7.
Azole resistance of
Candida glabrata in a case of recurrent fungemia.
Candida glabrata was the most common species among the isolates (56, 50.4%) followed by C.
Candida glabrata dominated among the fungi identified in the collected samples; however, C albicans and C krusei were also common.
Moreover, 3(5.4%) of
Candida glabrata isolates and 2(3.6%) of Candida tropicalis isolates were found to be resistant.
We searched Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar for case reports and case series in the English literature that were published till December 2016, using the terms "chorioamnionitis," "intra-amniotic infection," "Candida species," "Candida albicans," "
Candida glabrata," "Torulopsis glabrata," and "congenital candidiasis".
Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Cryptococcus neoformans occurred less frequently than the above pathogen in CTD patients (Table 2).
Anidulafungin and micafungin MIC breakpoints are superior to that of caspofungin for identifying FKS mutant
Candida glabrata strains and echinocandin resistance.
