ABSTRACT A 13-month prospective multicenter study including 44 hospitals was carried out
to evaluate the epidemiology of Candida parapsilosis complex candidemia in Spain …

Candida metapsilosis is a rarely-isolated, opportunistic pathogen that belongs to a clade of
pathogenic yeasts known as the C. parapsilosis sensu lato species complex. To gain insight …

The Candida parapsilosis species complex comprises a group of emerging human
pathogens of varying virulence. This complex was recently subdivided into three different …

Background The aim of this study was to determine the biofilm formation, the extracellular
enzymatic activities of 182 clinical isolates of the Candida parapsilosis complex. Methods …

Fungal infections represent a constant and growing menace to public health. This concern is
due to the emergence of new fungal species and the increase in antifungal drug resistance …

The incidence of fungal infections due to C. parapsilosis and closely related cryptic species (-
psilosis complex) has increased in the last few years, but differences in virulence among …

238 Virulence Volume 5 issue 2 been associated with virulence in C. albicans and C.
parapsilosis. 28, 29 Both Gago et al. and Németh et al. analyzed enzymatic activity in the …

The production of virulence attributes in three reference strains and 11 clinical isolates
primarily identified as Candida parapsilosis was evaluated. Morphological and phenotypical …

The C. parapsilosis sensu lato group involves three closely related species, C. parapsilosis
sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis. Although their overall clinical importance …

Retrospective studies indicate that Candida metapsilosis and Candida orthopsilosis each
represents 1–10% of the infections/colonisations attributed to C. parapsilosis by …
