First case of fungemia caused by a rare and pan-echinocandin resistant yeast <i>Sporopachydermia lactativora</i> in China
The cactophilic yeasts, <i>Sporopachydermia</i> species, are intrinsic resistance to echinocandins. We report the first case of fungemia caused by <i>S. lactativora</i> in China. <i>Sporopachydermia lactativora</i> could colonise and infect multiple animal tissues and could represent a new emerging fungal pathogen of humans and should not be ignored in clinical settings.
