Abstract excerpt

During August 2022-December 2023, a total of 110 bloodstream infections caused by Wickerhamomyces anomalus (synonym Candida pelliculosa) were identified across 8 hospitals in 3 cities in Venezuela. Most cases (82/110 in Caracas) occurred in a single pediatric intensive care unit, predominantly among neonates. Molecular genotyping indicated multiple events of clonal transmission, which was supported by...
