Abstract:
Objective To analyze the constitute and antifungal susceptibility of Candida spp . causing bloodstream infection in a hospital,so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of bloodstream infection caused by Candida spp .Methods Candida spp . isolated from blood specimens of clinical patients in a hospital between 2009 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively,the high risk factors for Candida bloodstream infection were analyzed. Results A total of 42 isolates of Candida spp . were isolated from blood specimens of 42 patients between 2009 and 2013,the major was Candida parapsilosis (C.parapsilosis ,n =20,47.62%),followed by C.albicans (n =16, 38.10%),C.tropicalis (n=4,9.52%),and C.glabrata(n=2,4.76%).Candida spp .were mainly distributed in emergency intensive care unit(n=11),departments of urologic surgery (n=9)and cardiothoracic surgery(n=8). The venous catheters of 37 patients(88.10%)were isolated the same Candida spp . as blood culture,the average time from indwelling venous catheters to positive culture of blood and catheters were 31 .47 and 33.18 days respec-tively;the percentage of positive culture for blood and catheters both increased with the prolongation of catheteriza-tion (both P < 0.001 ).Susceptibility rates of Candida spp . to fluconazole and voriconazole were 75.00% -100.00%,to amphotericin B were all 100.00%,to itraconazole varied significantly with different species (0 -87.50%).Conclusion The major Candida strains causing bloodstream infection in this hospital is C.parapsilosis , and is related to the use of intravenous catheters,susceptibility rates to fluconazole,amphotericin B,and voricon-azole are all high.
