Candida species cause severe invasive infections of the heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body. Knowledge of regional distributions of causative Candida agents and their antifungal susceptibility patterns can help to monitor resistance to antifungal agents of various species and support local and national surveillance programs.
