Debaryomyces hansenii (Candida famata), a rare human fungal pathogen often misidentified as Pichia guilliermondii (Candida guilliermondii).
Debaryomyces hansenii is a hemiascomycetous yeast commonly found in natural substrates and in various types of cheese. Pichia guilliermondii is widely distributed in nature and is a common constituent of the normal human microflora. Both species have been described in human infections but are extremely difficult to differentiate phenotypically. Thus, frequent errors in identification occur. The...
متن کاملMolecular identification of Pichia guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida palmioleophila
Traditional phenotypic methods and commercial kits based on carbohydrate assimilation patterns are unable to consistently distinguish among isolates of Pichia guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii and Candida palmioleophila. As result, these species are often misidentified. In this work, we established a reliable method for the identification/differentiation of these species. Our assay was vali...
متن کاملDetection of Nocardia Asteroides Complex in Clinical Isolates by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background and Aims: Nocardia asteroides complex is the most common cause of infectious diseases due to nocardiosis. Interspecies differentiation of Nocardia genera is essential for prognosis and timely proper treatment, as well as for epidemiological studies. Since each genus has its own antibiotic resistance, precise careful diagnosis is of prime importance. As compared to biochemical and phe...
متن کاملPnm-15: IUD Insertion and Alterations of Candida Species in Cervicovaginal Specimens by Polymerase Chain Reaction Technique
Background: Vulvovaginal Candidiasis is one of the most common vaginal infections and identification of candida species can be helpful in medical treatment. Intra uterine devices (IUDs) are effective, long-term methods of contraception, which in some cases may lead to Vulvovaginal Candidiasis. This study was developed to assess the effect of IUD insertion on Candida fungal flora in cervicovagin...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans in the oral cavity of drug abusers using duplex polymerase chain reaction
Background and Purpose: Candida dubliniensis is closely related to the most pathogenic and prevalent yeast, namely C. albicans. Candida species can opportunistically overgrow in vulnerable individuals and cause a variety of diseases. The current study aimed to identify and isolate C. dubliniensis species present in the Candida albicans species complex identified in the oral cavity of drug abuse...
