Abstract

Candida kefyr has been increasingly associated with bloodstream infections. This study reports on the identification and antifungal susceptibility pattern of 33 Candida isolates, identified biochemically as C. kefyr. One strain was finally identified as Candida sphaerica (Kluyveromyces lactis) by ITS sequencing. Both species seem to be emerging pathogens and highly susceptible in vitro to currently licensed antifungal compounds.
