Molecular Genotyping of Candida parapsilosis Species Complex
Mycopathologia, 2018The Candida parapsilosis complex species has emerged as an important cause of human disease. The molecular identification of C. parapsilosis isolates at the species level can be helpful for epidemiological studies and then for the establishment of appropriate therapies and prophylactic measures.The present study was undertaken to analyze 13 short ...

Killer behavior within the Candida parapsilosis complex
Folia Microbiologica, 2014A group of 29 isolates of Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, 29 of Candida orthopsilosis, and 4 of Candida metapsilosis were assayed for the presence of killer activity using Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26609 as a sensitive strain. All C. metapsilosis isolates showed killer activity at 25 °C while strains of C.

Mitochondrial genome variability within the Candida parapsilosis species complex
Mitochondrion, 2012Candida parapsilosis species complex includes three closely related species, namely C. parapsilosis (sensu stricto), C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis. Unlike most other yeast lineages, members of this species complex possess a linear mitochondrial genome. Yet, its circularized mutant form was identified in strains of C.

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2018 Antifungal resistance and several putative virulence factors have been associated with the pathogenicity of the Candida parapsilosis species complex. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal susceptibility, the production of virulence factors and the pathogenicity of the C. parapsilosis complex.Overall, 49 isolates of C.

Clinical Laboratory, 2023
Candida parapsilosis is a common non-albicans Candida species isolated from blood cultures. The increase in fluconazole-resistant C. parapsilosis complex isolates is worrying, especially in strains with Y132F changes in the ERG11 gene since this ultimately leads to outbreaks.

Biofilm formation and genetic variability of BCR1 gene in the Candida parapsilosis complex
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2015Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis are cryptic species that belong to the C. parapsilosis complex, which has been increasingly associated to fungemia in various geographic regions, principally due to the capability of these yeasts to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices.

Characterization of Candida parapsilosis complex strains isolated from invasive fungal infections
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2011In the present work, we studied the distribution of Candida parapsilosis complex species and the antifungal susceptibility of clinical isolates collected during an Italian surveillance study of yeast invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in intensive care units (ICUs).

Candida parapsilosiscomplex induces local inflammatory cytokines in immunocompetent mice
Medical Mycology, 2015Despite the increasing incidence of the Candida parapsilosis complex in the clinical setting and high mortality rates associated with disseminated infection, the host-fungus interactions regarding Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto and the closely related species C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis remains blurred.

Comparison of biofilm-producing ability of clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis species complex
Journal de Mycologie Médicale, 2019Candida parapsilosis is one of the main emerging non-Candida albicans species leading to superficial and systemic fungal infections in humans. Candida has the ability to produce biofilms associated with pathogenesis. The aim of the study was to estimate biofilm-producing ability of clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis sp. complex.Clinical samples of C.

Opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida cause infections representing a major threat to long-term survival of immunocompromised patients. Virulence of the Candida pathogens is enhanced by production of extracellular proteolytic enzymes and secreted aspartic proteases (Saps) are therefore studied as potential virulence factors and possible targets ...
