Genotyping of Candida tropicalis isolates uncovers nosocomial transmission of two lineages in Italian tertiary care hospital
WGS SNP analysis indicated nosocomial transmission of two lineages within the same hospital, highlighting the need for enforced infection prevention measures and routine genotyping on this common yeast in clinical settings. While both STR and FTIR genotyping also clustered these lineages, WGS SNP analysis is required to determine whether isolates were transmitted clonally.
