Resumen:
A significant increase in invasive candidiasis caused by species different from C.albicans has been reported. C.parapsilopsis complex include three cryptic species: C parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis. These species differ in virulence and antifungal susceptibility. Adherence factors are crucial for fungal colonization; biofilms are related with persistence and hydrolytic enzyme production with invasion and damage.Our aims were to determine the prevalence of C.parapsilopsis sensu lato in patients with candidemia from Argentina´s central region, to evaluate the distribution of cryptic species and to establish differences in their virulence factor and antifungal susceptibility profiles
