spp infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. is an emerging multi-drug-resistant fungus that is rapidly spreading worldwide. Since the first reports in 2009, many isolates across five continents have been identified as agents of hospital-associated infections. Independent and simultaneous outbreaks of are becoming a major concern for healthcare and scientific community. Moreover, laboratory misidentification and multi-drug-resistant profiles, rarely observed for other non-albicans species, result in difficult eradication and frequent therapeutic failures of infections. The aim of this review was to provide an updated and comprehensive report of the global spread of , focusing on clinical and microbiological characteristics, mechanisms of virulence and antifungal resistance, and efficacy of available control, preventive, and therapeutic strategies.
spp感染是重症患者发病和死亡的主要原因。是一种新兴的多重耐药真菌,正在全球迅速传播。自2009年首次报告以来,五大洲的许多分离株已被鉴定为医院相关感染的病原体。独立且同时发生的疫情正成为医疗保健和科学界的主要担忧。此外,实验室错误鉴定和多重耐药谱在其他非白色念珠菌物种中很少见,导致spp感染难以根除且治疗失败频繁。本综述的目的是提供一份关于spp全球传播的最新综合报告,重点关注临床和微生物学特征、毒力和抗真菌耐药机制,以及现有控制、预防和治疗策略的疗效。
