is a newly emerging candida species belong to species complex of Metschnikowiaceae family. Numerous clinical samples have been reported to isolate since discovery. We report a case of catheter related blood stream infection in which was isolated from blood in patient after prolong antibiotic therapy for recurrent infection of retroperitoneal cyst. The blood isolate was identified to species level by molecular assay targeting D1/D2 regions of 26s rDNA gene. The patient improved with administration of intravenous micafungin despite lack of antifungal susceptibility breakpoints.
是一种新出现的念珠菌属物种,属于梅奇尼科夫科的物种复合体。自发现以来,已有许多临床样本报告分离出该菌。我们报告一例导管相关血流感染病例,在对复发性腹膜后囊肿感染进行长期抗生素治疗后,从患者血液中分离出该菌。通过针对26s rDNA基因D1/D2区域的分子检测,将血液分离株鉴定到种水平。尽管缺乏抗真菌药敏断点,但静脉注射米卡芬净后患者病情有所改善。
