Abstract:

Objective To analysis the pathogen distribution and drug susceptibility of yeast blood stream infection, to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of Candida blood stream infection was retrospectively analyzed in in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. Results A total of 206 non-repetitive yeast strains were isolated from blood culture specimens. The positive isolation rate of yeast from Bactec Mycosis IC/F bottle, aerobic and anaerobic blood culture bottle were 1.32% (79/6003), 0.43%(371/85855)and 0.06% (47/77168) respectively. The top three Candida species were Candida albicans (72, 34.95%), Candida tropicalis (42, 20.39%) and Candida glabrata (39, 18.93%). The uncommon Candida species included Candida guilliermondii, Pichia pastoris, Candida lusitaniae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida lambica, Candida nivalis, Rhodotorula and Candida Haemulonii. In our hospital,candidemia usually developed in patients aged >60 years (42.23%) and was mostly in men (115, 55.83%). Infected patients were mainly from the emergency department (41, 19.90%), surgery intensive care unit and internal intensive care unit (both were 36, 17.48%). The positive alarm times from long to short was:Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis. The susceptibility rates of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis to fluconazole were 98.61%、97.44%、89.66% and 71.43%, respectively. Conclusion Candida albicans was the main blood stream infection species in our hospital. Most Candida strains had high sensitivity to antifungal drugs, but the resistance rate of Candida tropicalis was relatively high.
