Objectives: To compare Candida species distribution and antifungal susceptibility at South African public-and private-sector hospitals.Methods: From February 2009 through to August 2010, laboratory-based surveillance for candidaemia was undertaken at 11 public-sector hospitals and >85 private-sector hospitals across South Africa. A case was defined as a patient of any age admitted to a sentinel hospital with isolation of Candida species from blood culture. Viable isolates were identified and tested for antifungal susceptibility at a reference laboratory. Demographic and limited clinical data were abstracted from laboratory records.Results: In total, 2172 cases of candidaemia were detected. Among patients with available data, almost two-thirds were critically ill (719/1138, 63%). On multivariable analysis, neonates [adjusted OR (aOR), 2.2; 95% CI, 1.5-3.1; P
