Highlights
Despite the growing knowledge about the biology and clinical relevance of these pathogens, species-specific data comparing clinical and microbiological aspects are lacking
We describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients from 5 hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil, whose cultures were positive for the C. haemulonii complex species
During January 2010–March 2015, samples from case-patients in 5 hospitals affiliated with the University of São Paulo were cultured; samples positive for C. haemulonii were further analyzed
