- Abstract
Summary: Infection due to species other than Candida albicans is increasing among solid organ transplant recipients. Candida utilis, commonly used in the food industry, is considered as a low‐virulence yeast. We report the first case of C. utilis fungaemia involving a solid organ transplant recipient. The infection was triggered by the withdrawal of a ureteral stent and was successfully treated with intravenous micafungin. We also propose a review of all reported cases of infection caused by C. utilis.
