Candida parapsilosis detection kits

Candida parapsilosis is a levaduriform fungus, diploid morphologically characterized by rounded, oval or elongated cells and pseudohyphae production. In humans it can cause candidiasis, especially virulent in immunosuppressed patients. In the clinical environment, this opportunistic yeast has been associated with the hands of health workers, and is particularly common in systemic infections in low-weight premature infants, catheterized patients, as well as subjects under intravenous hyperalimentation schemes. Because of this, C. parapsilosis is considered as an important emerging pathogen, increasingly associated with a broad clinical spectrum of infections.
