Molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility profile of rare and emerging yeast species causing onychomycosis
Nineteen rare and emerging yeast isolates, representing seven species, including Candida orthopsilosis (n = 9, 47.36%), Clavispora lusitaniae (formerly Candida lusitaniae) (n = 2, 10.52%), Wickerhamiella pararugosa (formerly Candida pararugosa) (n = 2, 10.52%), Naganishia diffluens (formerly Cryptococcus diffluens) (n = 2, 10.52%), Wickerhamomyces anomalus (n = 2, 10.52%), Cyberlindnera fabianii (n = 1, 5.26%), and Meyerozyma caribbica (formerly Candida fermentati) (n = 1, 5.26%), were identified. Most rare yeast agents exhibited high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for fluconazole.
