Non-Candida isolates from blood cultures and intra-abdominal samples: data derived from a multicentre prospective study conducted in Madrid.

from blood cultures (n=12) or intra-abdominal samples (n=13; peritoneal samples [n=11], liver samples [n=2]) that represented 1.1% (n=12/1,101) and 1.3% (n=13/1,031) of isolates from blood cultures and intra-abdominal samples, respectively (Figure 1). Non-Candida yeasts were found in 1.3 % (n=25/1,912) of the patients (Candida spp were simultaneously found in 8/25 patients). Interestingly, higher species diversity was found in isolates from blood cultures; the species found in intra-abdominal samples were also found in blood culture isolates except for S. cerevisiae, which was exclusively found in intra-abdominal samples. Blood-cultured isolates were mainly sourced from patients in medical (42%) or ICU wards (33%), whereas intra-abdominal isolates were mainly sourced from patients in surgery wards (77%). The number of isolates detected per year were 12 in 2019, 8 in 2020, and 5 in 2021.
