Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Candida auris on 3 Continents Confirmed by Whole-Genome Sequencing and Epidemiological Analyses
Shawn R. Lockhart,Kizee A. Etienne,Snigdha Vallabhaneni,Joveria Farooqi,Anuradha Chowdhary,Nelesh P. Govender,Arnaldo Lopes Colombo,Belinda Calvo,Christina A. Cuomo,Christopher A. Desjardins,Elizabeth L. Berkow,Mariana Castanheira,Rindidzani E. Magobo,Kauser Jabeen,Rana Jawad Asghar,Jacques F. Meis,Brendan R Jackson,Tom Chiller,Anastasia P. Litvintseva +18 more
TL;DR: Candida auris is an emerging healthcare-associated pathogen associated with high mortality, and WGS analysis suggests nearly simultaneous, and recent, independent emergence of different clonal populations on 3 continents.
Journal ArticleDOI
First report of Candida auris in America: Clinical and microbiological aspects of 18 episodes of candidemia
Belinda Calvo,Analy Salles de Azevedo Melo,Armindo Perozo-Mena,Martin Hernandez,Elaine Cristina Francisco,Ferry Hagen,Jacques F. Meis,Arnaldo Lopes Colombo +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that C. auris is a multiresistant yeast pathogen that can be a source of health-care associated infections in tertiary care hospitals with a high potential for nosocomial horizontal transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Estimated timing of the expansion of each C. auris clade and of fluconazole resistance, characterized discrete phylogeographic population structure of each clade, and compared genome data to sensitivity measurements to describe how antifungal resistance mechanisms vary across the population are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species distribution and antifungal susceptibility profile of Candida spp. bloodstream isolates from Latin American hospitals.
Patricio Godoy,Iris Nora Tiraboschi,Luiz Carlos Severo,Beatriz Bustamante,Belinda Calvo,Leila Paula de Almeida,Daniel Archimedes da Matta,Arnaldo Lopes Colombo +7 more
TL;DR: Continuously surveillance programs are needed in order to identify possible changes in the species distribution and antifungal susceptibility patterns of yeasts that may occurs after increasing the use of azoles in Latin American hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal Susceptibilities, Varieties, and Electrophoretic Karyotypes of Clinical Isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans from Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela
Belinda Calvo,Arnaldo Lopes Colombo,Olga Fischman,A. Santiago,Luis Thompson,Márcia dos Santos Lazéra,Flavio de Queiroz Telles,Kazutaka Fukushima,Kazuko Nishimura,Reiko Tanaka,Makoto Myiajy,M. Luiza Moretti-Branchini +11 more
TL;DR: A high susceptibility to antifungal agents was observed among all the isolates and the electrophoretic karyotyping of 51 strains revealed good discrimination among Cryptococcus neoformansvar.
