Candidaemia: A 9-Year Retrospective Analysis of Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Tertiary Care Hospitals in Western China

The findings of this investigation suggest a shift in the prevalence of non<i>-Candida albicans</i> species, notably <i>C. tropicalis</i>, as the predominant cause of Candidaemia at Suining Central Hospital, surpassing <i>C. albicans</i>. Although instances of antifungal resistance are infrequent, there has been a notable rise in resistance to azoles. This study provides important insights into the local epidemiology, which will be essential for informing the selection of empirical antifungal therapy and contributing to the global surveillance of antifungal resistance.
