The emergence of fluconazole resistance in Candida parapsilosis healthcare-associated infections has recently been increasingly reported. Antifungal susceptibility profiles and mechanisms of fluconazole resistance in C. parapsilosis (n = 199) from nine hospitals in India collected over a period of 3 years were studied. Further, clonal transmission of fluconazole-resistant isolates in different hospitals was investigated.
