Study of Candidemia and its Antifungal Susceptibility Profile at the University Hospital of Montevideo, Uruguay.
Systemic candidiasis are high mortality infections caused by yeasts of the genus Candida, affecting patients with numerous risk factors. Nowadays, candidemia produced by "non-albicans" species has increased considerably. Timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment substantially improve patients' survival. Our objectives are to study the frequency, distribution, and antifungal susceptibility profiles of candidemia isolates in our hospital. We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Positive blood cultures were recorded from January 2018 to December 2021. Positive Candida genus blood cultures were selected, classified, and analyzed on their susceptibility profile for amphotericin B, fluconazole and caspofungin using AST-YS08® card for VITEK 2 Compact® to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and CLSI M60 2020 2nd Edition to determine breakpoints. 3862 positive blood cultures were obtained, 113 (2.93%) presented growth of Candida spp., corresponding to 58 patients. 55.2% came from the Hospitalization Ward and Emergency Services and 44.8% from the Intensive Care Unit. The species were distributed as follows: Nakaseomyces glabratus (Candida glabrata) (32.74%), Candida albicans (27.43%), Candida parapsilosis (23.01%), Candida tropicalis (7.08%) and others (9.73%). Most species were found to be susceptible to most antifungals, except for C. parapsilosis, presenting 4 isolates with resistance to fluconazole and N. glabratus (C. glabrata), whose clinical susceptibility data remains insufficient to provide accurate breakpoints. The percentage of recorded positive blood cultures of Candida spp. was 2.93%, these results were consistent with those reported at a regional level. A predominance of "non-albicans" species was observed. It is essential to know the prevalence, epidemiology, and susceptibility profiles of candidemia in our country, as well as being updated on its subsequent changes, maintaining epidemiological surveillance. This allows professionals to map out early and effective therapeutic strategies, staying alert of possible multi-resistant strains.
期刊介绍：
Mycopathologia is an official journal of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS). Mycopathologia was founded in 1938 with the mission to ‘diffuse the understanding of fungal diseases in man and animals among mycologists’. Many of the milestones discoveries in the field of medical mycology have been communicated through the pages of this journal. Mycopathologia covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth. The journal publishes peer-reviewed, original articles highlighting important developments concerning medically important fungi and fungal diseases. The journal highlights important developments in fungal systematics and taxonomy, laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections, antifungal drugs, clinical presentation and treatment, and epidemiology of fungal diseases globally. Timely opinion articles, mini-reviews, and other communications are usually invited at the discretion of the editorial board. Unique case reports highlighting unprecedented progress in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections, are published in every issue of the journal. MycopathologiaIMAGE is another regular feature for a brief clinical report of potential interest to a mixed audience of physicians and laboratory scientists. MycopathologiaGENOME is designed for the rapid publication of new genomes of human and animal pathogenic fungi using a checklist-based, standardized format.
