Candida albicans Horizontal Transmission in COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit
Our study indicates that <i>C. albicans</i> strains can spread horizontally. The routes of transmission for strains in the ward have not been explained due to there being insufficient data. The transmission could have been caused by the unintentional spread of pathogens by medical personnel.
