Candida albicans isolates from a Malaysian hospital exhibit more potent phospholipase and haemolysin activities than non-albicans Candida isolates [PDF]
This study was aimed at determining the phospholipase and haemolysin activity of Candida isolates in Malaysia. A total of 37 Candida clinical isolates representing seven species, Candida albicans (12), Candida tropicalis (8), Candida glabrata (4 ...

Pyrosequencing Analysis of 20 Nucleotides of Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 Discriminates Candida parapsilosis , Candida metapsilosis , and Candida orthopsilosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Two new cryptic sister species, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis , were recently identified by consistent DNA sequence differences among several genes within the genetically heterogeneous Candida parapsilosis complex.

Identification and antifungal susceptibility of a large collection of yeast strains isolated in Tunisian hospitals [PDF]
In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used as a rapid method to identify yeasts isolated from patients in Tunisian hospitals. When identification could not be exstablished with this

Background: Candida albicans complex species are the main cause of candidiasis. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the prevalence and genetic diversity of C. albicans complex using hyphal wall protein 1 (HWP1) gene size polymorphism, as well as the susceptibility patterns to fluconazole and voriconazole.

Abstract Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring is one of the conserved posttranslational modifications in eukaryotes that attach proteins to the plasma membrane. In fungi, in addition to plasma membrane GPI‐anchored proteins (GPI‐APs), some GPI‐APs are specifically released from the cell membrane, secreted into the cell wall, and covalently ...
