- Candida spp. colonization among intensive care unit patients : preliminary resultsPublication . Nascimento, Teresa; Inácio, João; Ferreira, Isabel; Diaz, Priscila; Freitas, Paulo; Barroso, HelenaCandida spp. colonization is recognized as a major risk factor for invasive candidiasis. To assess patient colonization, upon admission and during their stay in intensive care units (ICU), a surveillance study has been conducted since January 2020, in the Lisbon area of Portugal. A total of 219 swab samples were obtained from 113 ICU patients. The yeast identification was conducted by microbiological conventional and molecular methods. Upon admission to the ICU, 27% of patients were already colonized, and 17% became colonized during their ICU stay. Candida albicans was the most isolated species. These results may offer an opportunity for prevention of candidemia.
