Declarations

:

: The research protocol was approved by the Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Rectorate Clinical Research Ethics Committee (decision number: 2024-1014569; Appendix 1). Compliance with the Helsinki Declaration was evaluated by the Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Rectorate Clinical Research Ethics Committee. The clinical isolates used in this study are yeast isolates obtained from patient samples sent to the Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine Hospital Medical Microbiology Mycology Laboratory between 2015 and 2024 and stored at -80°C. Since the study was retrospective and involved yeast (Candida spp.) isolates stored at -80°C, informed consent was not obtained for participation, and the study was evaluated by the Institutional Ethics Committee (IRB). (Informed Consent Forms were not obtained from patients because the study was planned retrospectively and based on archived samples.)
