“…parapsilosis has emerged as a significant nosocomial pathogen with clinical manifestations that include endophthalmitis, endocarditis, septic arthritis, peritonitis and fungaemia, usually associated with invasive procedures or prosthetic devices (Cantó n et al, 2011), and with neonatal infections in the northern hemisphere, although this species is found in patients of all ages in Latin America (Almirante et al, 2005;Nucci et al, 2010). Pires et al (2011a) isolated 100 strains of C. parapsilosis from a haemodialysis unit; using molecular analysis, 53 % were found to be C. parapsilosis and 47 % corresponded to Candida orthopsilosis. Tavanti et al (2005) suggested that the C. parapsilosis complex could be replaced by three different but related species named C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis on the basis of differences observed for randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and DNA sequencing of different genes.…”

“…C. parapsilosis has become the second most commonly isolated fungal organism in several studies (Kuhn et al, 2002). Pires et al (2011a) isolated 17 environmental isolates of C. parapsilosis from the hydraulic circuit of a haemodialysis centre. This species is of particular concern in critically ill neonates, where it is known to be associated with central lines and parenteral nutrition (Kuhn et al, 2002).…”

“…Many medically important fungi are described as biofilm-forming organisms, such as Candida spp. (Chandra et al, 2005; Hinrichsen et al, 2008; Finkel and Mitchell, 2011; Pires et al, 2011), Pneumocystis spp. (Cushion et al, 2009), Coccidioides spp.…”

“…In South American hospitals, the incidence of Candida parapsilosis is greater than that of Candida albicans (7,8), and previous results from our laboratory (9)(10)(11) have shown that C. parapsilosis is predominantly implicated in the contamination of water samples collected at a hemodialysis center. Recently, C. parapsilosis isolates were classified into three distinct species: C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis (12).…”
