Whole genome sequencing confirms Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis microsatellite sporadic and persistent clones causing outbreaks of candidemia in neonates.

Abstract excerpt

Whole genome sequencing has been extensively used to describe infection outbreaks, although with limited application on Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis.We retrospectively studied all patients admitted to the neonatal care unit diagnosed with candidemia caused by C. albicans (n = 46) or C. parapsilosis (n = 31) between 2007 and 2010 (Period 1) and 2011 and 2014 (Period 2). All isolates were genotyped by...
