ABSTRACT

Background: in the last two decades, a notable increase in the frequency of infection-causing yeasts in hospitalized patients has been observed, mainly because of the increase in risk factors.
Material and methods: in this study, all yeast isolates obtained from different samples of patients treated in the Internal Medicine, Intensive Care Unit, Surgery, and Gynecology services of the Dr. Darío Fernández Fierro hospital (ISSSTE), during the period from 2014 to 2022 were included. Isolates were identified by traditional phenotypic characteristics using different selective and chromogenic media and by Vitek 2® system.
Results: of 52 401 samples processed, 1 887 (3.6%) corresponded to yeastlike fungi obtained from 1 093 patients. Of the total isolates, 83.4% were obtained from women, with a significant difference. The main genera isolated were Candida (87.3%) and Trichosporon (5.5%). Sixty-one-point five percent corresponded to Candida albicans, 10% to C. tropicalis, 9% to C. glabrata, and 5.5% to Trichosporon spp. Yeast association was observed in 3.9% of samples.
Conclusion: this study shows the importance of identifying clinically important yeasts isolated from hospitalized patients; because of in addition the usual species of the genus Candida, there are other agents to consider as emerging etiological agents, such as species of the genus Trichosporon.
