Changes in the microbiology, epidemiology, and outcomes of candidemia in Connecticut: A comparison between two periods using statewide surveillance.

Using statewide surveillance, we describe candidemia in Connecticut during 1998-2000 and 2019. In 2019, candidemia was more frequently associated with community-onset and non-albicans Candida species and less frequently associated with central vascular catheters, recent surgery, and in-hospital mortality. Understanding changes in candidemia can optimize clinical management and prevention strategies.
