Rapid Detection of Echinocandins Resistance by MALDI-TOF MS in Candida parapsilosis Complex. [PDF]
Mass spectrometry by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) was used to identify and differentiate the pattern of susceptibility of clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis complex. 17 C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, 2 C. orthopsilosis, and 1 C.

Antifungal susceptibility and virulence attributes of animal-derived isolates of Candida parapsilosis complex [PDF]
This study aimed to identify strains of the Candida parapsilosis complex isolated from animals, as well as to assess their in vitro antifungal susceptibility profile and in vitro production of virulence attributes. We used 28 isolates of C. parapsilosis sensu lato recovered from clinically healthy animals. The strains were characterized phenotypically,

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

Cloning and Characterization of a Complex DNA Fingerprinting Probe for Candida parapsilosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Candida parapsilosis accounts for a significant number of nosocomial fungemias, but in fact, no effective and verified genetic fingerprinting method has emerged for assessing the relatedness of independent isolates for epidemiological studies.

Analysis of Inteins in the Candida parapsilosis Complex for Simple and Accurate Species Identification [PDF]
ABSTRACT Inteins are coding sequences that are transcribed and translated with flanking sequences and then are excised by an autocatalytic process. There are two types of inteins in fungi, mini-inteins and full-length inteins, both of which present a splicing domain containing well-conserved amino acid sequences.

Differential Sensitivity of the Species of Candida parapsilosis Sensu Lato Complex Against Statins [PDF]
Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are human fungal pathogens with clinical importance. The recently reclassified three closely related species have significant variation in virulence, clinical prevalence and susceptibility characteristics to different antifungal compounds.

Capability of Fluorescent Capillary Electrophoresis To Distinguish Species of the Candida parapsilosis Complex. [PDF]
Candida parapsilosis complex (psilosis complex) has three genetically distinct but not easily phenotypically distinguishable cryptic species, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida metapsilosis, and C. orthopsilosis. It has been reported as one of the most important non-albicans agents commonly detected in invasive candidiasis (1–3).
