Identification of Candida nivariensis and Candida bracarensis in a Large Global Collection of Candida glabrata Isolates: Comparison to the Literature

摘要

We analyzed 1,598 Candida glabrata isolates for the presence of the cryptic species Candida nivariensis and Candida bracarensis. Both species were very rare in this collection (0.2% prevalence), despite the number of isolates analyzed and the global distribution of the isolates. We saw no associated antifungal resistance in C. nivariensis.
