Candida metapsilosisas the least virulent member of the‘C. parapsilosis’complex [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2010
Results of recent molecular studies have provided evidence of three distinct species within the Candida parapsilosis complex, namely Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis. While there are initial data pertaining to the virulence of these Candida species with respect to reconstituted epidermal and oral epithelial tissues ...

Characterization of biofilms formed by Candida parapsilosis, C. metapsilosis, and C. orthopsilosis

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2010
Infections due to Candida parapsilosis have been associated with the ability of this fungus to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices. Recently, C. parapsilosis isolates were reclassified into 3 genetically non-identical classes: C. parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis.

Paradigm Shift: Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto as the Most Prevalent Candida Species Isolated from Bloodstream Infections with Increasing Azole-Non-Susceptibility Rates: Trends from 2015–2022 Survey

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Candidemia is the fourth most common healthcare-related bloodstream infection. In recent years, incidence rates of Candida parapsilosis have been on the rise, with differences in prevalence and antifungal susceptibility between countries.

Biofilms of non-Candida albicans Candida species : quantification, structure and matrix composition [PDF]

, 2009
Most cases of candidiasis have been attributed to C. albicans, but recently, non- Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species have been identified as common pathogens.

Investigation on MFS family in C. parapsilosis with CRISPR

Access Microbiology, 2019
C. parapsilosis causes candidiasis especially among newborn babies. The function of specific transporters is considered to be one key feature underlying drug resistance in Candida species. Drug transporters fall into two main classes – ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). Particularly,

Candida parapsilosis Virulence and Antifungal Resistance Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Review of Key Determinants

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Candida parapsilosis is the second most common Candida species isolated in Asia, Southern Europe, and Latin America and is often involved in invasive infections that seriously impact human health. This pathogen is part of the psilosis complex, which also
