Opportunistic pathogen Candida causes common fungal infections that manifest both
superficially and systemically, especially in compromised patients. Although C. albicans is …

ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Candida krusei was devised,
based on sequencing of six gene fragments of the species. The existence of heterozygous …

The clonal relationship between oral and fecal Candida albicans isolated from children of
pre‐school age was examined using RAPD analysis. Significantly higher levels of C …

Although Candida albicans is the most common human yeast pathogen, other Candida
species such as C. krusei are now recognized as emerging agents, especially in patients …

Candida krusei is a diploid, heterozygous yeast that is an opportunistic fungal pathogen in
immunocompromised patients. This species also is utilized for fermenting cocoa beans …

Although HIV-infected individuals harbour multiple strains of oral Candida albicans, little is
known of their micro-evolution over time. Therefore, a prospective study was conducted with …

Recently, methods based on the analysis of arbitrarily amplified target sites of genome
microorganisms have been extensively applied in microbiological studies, and especially in …

Candidemia outbreaks that due to cross-infection are an emerging problem in hospitals.
Typing of microorganisms is an essential tool for understanding the epidemiologic aspects …

Among the Candida species commonly involved in superficial and more significant life-
threatening infections, C. krusei exhibits the most worrisome resistance profile to antifungals …

Future studies of population structure and the evolution of bacterial species will require DNA
sequences from multiple loci and large databases, such as are provided by MLST and SNP …
