Candida albicans, a diploid yeast commensal and opportunist pathogen, has evolved
unusual mechanisms for maintenance of genetic diversity in the absence of a complete …

Typing strains within a microbial species on the basis of DNA sequences at multiple loci has
greatly advanced study of the epidemiology and evolutionary phylogenetics of many …

An increased prevalence of candidal carriage and oral candidiasis is common in cases of
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and the reasons for this may include the …

We typed 165 Candida albicans isolates from 44 different sources by multilocus sequence
typing (MLST) and ABC typing of rRNA genes and determined their homozygosity or …

Oral candidosis (syn. Oral candidiasis; OC), is a collective term given to a group of oral
mucosal disorders caused by the fugal pathogen belonging to the genus Candida. The …

HIV infection affects residents of all countries of the world, but the greater majority of affected
individuals reside in the developing world. In the past decade there have been substantial …

Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to characterize the genetic profiles of 51
Candida albicans isolates collected from 12 hospitals in Taiwan. Among the 51 isolates, 16 …

This report describes the investigation of the genetic profiles of 53 Candida albicans isolates
collected from 18 hospitals in Taiwan using three PFGE-based typing methods (PFGE …

Oral candidiasis (OC) is the most common mucosal manifestation of HIV infection. This
workshop examined OC and other mycoses associated with HIV infection. Historically, blood …

The objectives of this study are to investigate the carriage rate of Candida albicans from the
