is a pathogenic yeast that mainly affects immunosuppressed patients and those with implanted medical devices. This pathogen also displays elevated resistance to common antifungals and high survival and spreading capacities. Since no antifungal breakpoints have yet been defined for this pathogen, the data obtained here can be useful for further research concerning treatment or implementation of a prevention and disinfection protocol. Our aim was to study the antifungal resistance of to current antifungals in planktonic and sessile states. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and viable biomass production, we demonstrated the ability of to develop a mature biofilm. We compared the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) for the DSM 21092 strain plus two clinical isolates, and the results were compared with those obtained for and , two species strongly linked to bloodstream infections and infections associated with biomaterials. We found that the clinical isolates of were resistant to fluconazole and sensitive to echinocandins and polyenes. The biofilms did not show susceptibility to any antifungal agent, showing MBECs that were up to 512-fold higher than the MICs. These findings highlight the importance of biofilm formation as a key factor underlying the resistance of this species to antifungals and suggest that the presence of implantable medical devices is one of the major risk factors in immunocompromised patients.
