A Candida auris–specific adhesin, Scf1, governs surface association, colonization, and virulence

Science, 2023
Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen responsible for health care–associated outbreaks that arise from persistent surface and skin colonization. We characterized the arsenal of adhesins used by C.

Differential skin immune responses in mice intradermally infected with Candida auris and Candida albicans

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Candida auris, an emerging multi-drug-resistant fungal pathogen, uniquely colonizes the human skin long term, leading to subsequent development of life-threatening invasive infections in humans. The factors regulating skin colonization of C.

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]

, 2019
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

Confirmation of fifth Candida auris clade by whole genome sequencing

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Candida auris has emerged globally as a multidrug-resistant pathogen causing outbreaks in health care facilities. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis has identified four major clades, while earlier WGS data from a single Iranian isolate suggested the ...

Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov., a Genomically Distinct, Flower‐Associated Yeast, Resistant to Azoles and Exhibiting Pathogenicity‐Related Traits

Yeast, EarlyView.
Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov. represents a distinct species within the Candidozyma clade, supported by multilocus phylogeny, genome‐scale metrics, and phenotypic traits. Although isolated from floral substrates, this species displays several traits commonly associated with opportunistic pathogenic yeasts.
