Multilocus Sequence Typing Reveals Extensive Genetic Diversity of the Emerging Fungal Pathogen .

spp. are the second most prevalent filamentous fungi after spp. recovered from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in various regions of the world.

Antifungal susceptibility of yeast bloodstream isolates collected during a 10-year period in Austria.

Background: Candida-associated infections put a significant burden on western healthcare systems. Development of (multi-)resistant fungi can become untreatable and threaten especially vulnerable target groups, such as the immunocompromised.

Objectives: We assessed antifungal susceptibility and explored possible influence factors of clinical Candida isolates collected from Austrian hospitals between 2007 and 2016.

Isolation of Candida auris from Ear of Otherwise Healthy Patient, Austria, 2018.

The emerging pathogen Candida auris is isolated mostly from hospitalized patients and often shows multidrug resistance. We report on the isolation of this yeast in Austria from an outpatient's auditory canal. The isolate showed good susceptibility against antifungals except for echinocandins; the patient was treated successfully with topical administration of nystatin.
