Introduction: In recent years, increasing infections due to fungi have drawn attention. Especially, Candida albicans is the most frequent infectious agent with its virulence factors. Furthermore, because C. albicans is a nosocomial infection agent, it can lead an increase in mortality and morbidity. In this study, it was aimed to genotype C. albicans strains that caused candidemia by molecular methods and to investigate one of the most important virulence factors, Secreted Aspartyl Proteinase 4 (SAP4).
