High-frequency genetic contents variations in clinical Candida albicans isolates.
Genome plasticity is a hallmark of Candida albicans and is believed to be an adaptation strategy. But the extent of such genomic variability is not well investigated. In this study, genetic contents of clinical C. albicans isolates were investigated at whole-genome level with array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) technology. It was revealed that C. albicans possessed variati...
متن کاملHigh-frequency switching in Candida albicans.
Most strains of Candida albicans are capable of switching frequently and reversibly between a number of phenotypes distinguishable by colony morphology. A number of different switching systems have been defined according to the limited set of phenotypes in each switching repertoire, and each strain appears to possess a single system. Switching can affect many aspects of cellular physiology and ...
متن کاملChromosomal variations in Candida albicans.
We report here the separation of chromosomal DNA molecules from the diplokl pathogenic yeast C. albicans by field inversion gel electrophoresls (FIOEK1). Our earlier work on C. albicans ATCC strain 10261 revealed a pulsed field gel electrophoretic pattern of six bands, two of which were possibly doublets (2). In the present study we found that FIGE gave superior resolution with uniform DNA mobi...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of azole resistance in Candida albicans clinical isolates.
Changes in protein expression within a matched set of Candida albicans isolates representing the acquisition of azole resistance were examined by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and peptide mass fingerprinting. Proteins differentially expressed in association with azole resistance included Grp2p, Ifd1p, Ifd4p, Ifd5p, and Erg10p, a protein involved in the ergosterol biosynthes...
متن کاملGenetic relationship between human and animal isolates of Candida albicans.
Analyzing Candida albicans isolates from different human and animal individuals by Ca3 fingerprinting, we obtained no evidence for host-specific genotypes and for the existence of species-specific lineages, even though a certain degree of separation between human and animal isolates was found. Therefore, animals could potentially serve as reservoirs for human Candida infection.
