Molecular Typing and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida viswanathii, India

We report invasive candidiasis caused by Candida viswanathii over 2 time periods during 2013–2015 in a tertiary care hospital in Chandigarh, India. Molecular typing revealed multiple clusters of the isolates. We detected high MICs for fluconazole in the second time period.
