Abstract Prototheca wickerhamii is an achlorophyllic algae that rarely acts as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. We report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with a history of diabetes mellitus who presented with a pus-like discharge from face, facial redness, and swelling. The patient was admitted to the emergency room with worsening facial pain. Gram staining from pus-like discharge revealed yeast like features; however, an isolated colony on a blood agar

Abstract Background: As most Candida species cause opportunistic infections, it is helpful for patient care to determine species name of Candida spp. and their distribution in both sterile and non-sterile specimens. We aimed to investigate trends in the distribution of Candida species isolated from a hospital in Korea, along with their antifungal susceptibilities and seasonal variations. Methods: This study was conducted at the Chung-Ang University Hospital and included 8,760 different clinical specimens from

Introduction The rise of multidrug-resistant organisms is a significant global health threat, projected to cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050, surpassing cancer as the leading cause of mortality [1]. Traditional antibiotic development has not kept pace with this threat, necessitating innovative approaches to combat resistant pathogens. Bacteriophage therapy, which leverages viruses to specifically target and destroy bacteria, has emerged as a promising alternative. This letter outlines the key
