Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Invasive fungal infection, particularly by yeast species associated with the genus Candida, is notably recognized by the high incidence of fungemia and morbidity and mortality in medical centers worldwide. At the same time, an increase in antifungal resistance rates has been observed in the last two decades among the most common species of Candida. Furthermore, the emergence of the multidrug-resistant pathogen C. auris with a high capacity to cause outbreaks in healthcare settings has brought many concerns to global public health systems. Improving diagnostic detection and understanding the epidemiology of candidemia and the distribution of Candida species and antifungal resistance rates are crucial to preventing and controlling these infections. Efforts have been made by health centers to develop the best strategies for treatment, surveillance, and monitoring of these infections, particularly for species less susceptible to antimicrobials.
