Details
The yeast formerly known as Candida auris has been reclassified as Candidozyma auris following a taxonomic revision in 2023.
Analysis of data from voluntary reports of yeast species causing bacteraemia (including trend data; age, sex and geographical distribution; and antimicrobial susceptibility) for England.
Several taxonomic revisions to species previously classified as Candida spp. have been implemented in recent years. With effect from the annual report for 2022, the focus of these Health Protection Reports has therefore shifted from candidemia (as in previous years) to include bloodstream infections due to yeast species, and will continue to evolve while the taxonomy of this group becomes more clearly defined.
Reports for the year 2020 and earlier were published by Public Health England.
