Candida spp.: the burden of a microorganism in a microbiology department.

We believe that this work is of interest because at present, there is no really accurate information available on the total workload involved in isolating a specific microorganism in a clinical microbiology laboratory. The costs related to this have also not been described. We have described the unrestricted workload of Candida spp. in all types of samples for all types of species and patients. We believe that this information would be necessary to collect and share this information as well as to collect it in a standardized way to know the current situation of Candida spp. workload in all clinical microbiology laboratories.
