Isolate distribution and antifungal susceptibility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the national regional medical center of Southwest China for women and children during 2018-2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been considered a harmless yeast, but in recent years, increasing evidence has shown that it can cause disease in humans, especially invasive infections in infants/children and vulvovaginal infections in women. This study aimed to investigate the clinical information and antifungal susceptibility of clinical cases with S. cerevisiae and establish a foundation for the prevention and treatment of fungal infections.

Methods

This study was conducted from May 2018 to May 2023 at a national regional medical center in Southwest China for women and children. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients isolated with S. cerevisiae were collected and analyzed. All the isolates were cultured on Sabouraud medium plates and identified b
