<i>Lodderomyces elongisporus</i> Masquerading as <i>Candida parapsilosis</i> as a Cause of Bloodstream Infections

Abstract excerpt

Ten yeast bloodstream isolates identified as Candida parapsilosis by conventional methods grew as turquoise blue colonies on Chromagar media. Subsequent sequence analysis showed that these isolates were the species Lodderomyces elongisporus. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of L. elongisporus as a cause of human disease.
