Candida spp. colonization: a genotype source found in blood cultures that can become widespread
We observed that 94% of patients with candidemia were colonized by a genotype causing the infection; likewise, a total of 31% of colonizing genotypes were detectable in blood cultures. Finally, identical genotypes found in both colonized samples and blood cultures had a higher probability of being widespread.
