Abstract

Lodderomyces elongisporusis phenotypically closely related toCandida parapsilosisand has recently been identified as an infrequent cause of bloodstream infections in patients from Asia and Mexico. We report here the isolation ofLodderomyces elongisporusfrom the catheter of a suspected case of fungemia. The identity of the isolate was confirmed by phenotypic characteristics and ribosomal DNA sequencing.
