Targeted gene deletion in Candida parapsilosis demonstrates the role of secreted lipase in virulence.
Candida parapsilosis is a major cause of human disease, yet little is known about the pathogen's virulence. We have developed an efficient gene deletion system for C. parapsilosis based on the repeated use of the dominant nourseothricin resistance marker (caSAT1) and its subsequent deletion by FLP-mediated, site-specific recombination. Using this technique, we deleted the lipase locus in the C....
متن کاملLooking into the virulence of Candida parapsilosis
Editorial In many diagnostic microbiology laboratories the species identification process starting from cultured colonies has recently undergone some significant changes. Where not long ago car-bon/nitrogen source utilization tests in the form of colorful tubes or well-based devices down to chip card size dominated the field, we now find a purely biophysical instrument, a MALDI-ToF mass spectro...
متن کاملBiotyping and virulence properties of skin isolates of Candida parapsilosis.
The biotype and virulence of skin isolates of Candida parapsilosis were compared with blood isolates of the same fungus. Morphotype, resistotype, and electrophoretic karyotype determinations did not reveal any special cluster with a unique or dominant pathogenic feature among all of the isolates, regardless of their source. However, all cutaneous isolates had uniformly elevated secretory aspart...
متن کاملDifferent Candida parapsilosis clinical isolates and lipase deficient strain trigger an altered cellular immune response
Numerous human diseases can be associated with fungal infections either as potential causative agents or as a result of changed immune status due to a primary disease. Fungal infections caused by Candida species can vary from mild to severe dependent upon the site of infection, length of exposure, and past medical history. Patients with impaired immune status are at increased risk for chronic f...
