Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Candida species isolated from candideamia in Iran
Background and Purpose: Candidemia is one of the most important fungal infections caused by Candida species. Infections and mortality caused by Candida species have been on a growing trend during the past two decades. The resistance of yeasts to antifungal drugs and their epidemiological issues have highlighted the importance of accurately distinguishing the yeasts at the species level. The tec...

متن کاملGenotypic variability and antifungal susceptibility of Candida tropicalis isolated from patients with candiduria.
BACKGROUND Candida tropicalis is an emerging major human pathogen in nosocomial infections, and it is considered the second or third species of Candida most isolated from urine cultures. AIMS The study aimed at characterizing genotypically C. tropicalis strains from patients with candiduria in a university hospital, and assessed the antifungal susceptibility profile. METHODS The study was c...
متن کاملPhenotypic switching in Candida tropicalis: association with modification of putative virulence attributes and antifungal drug sensitivity.
Although Candida tropicalis has become an increasingly important human pathogen, little is known regarding its potential to cause disease. In this study we evaluated the phenotypic switching ability of C. tropicalis and analyzed the effect of switching on biological properties related to virulence factors. We demonstrated that C. tropicalis switched spontaneously, reversibly and at high frequen...
متن کاملParasexuality and ploidy change in Candida tropicalis.
Candida species exhibit a variety of ploidy states and modes of sexual reproduction. Most species possess the requisite genes for sexual reproduction, recombination, and meiosis, yet only a few have been reported to undergo a complete sexual cycle including mating and sporulation. Candida albicans, the most studied Candida species and a prevalent human fungal pathogen, completes its sexual cycl...
