Abstract
We report here the second case of Candida utilis infection in humans. The patient was apparently immunocompetent, had no central catheter, and survived an 8-day fungemia. Genomic analysis confirmed the conspecificity of medical and industrial strains of C. utilis and that of the anamorphic yeast C. utilis with the teleomorphic yeast Pichia jadinii.
