Genotyping of Candida albicans isolated from animals using 25S ribosomal DNA and ALT repeats polymorphism in repetitive sequence
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans is the most prevalent Candida species isolated from animals. Candidiasis can be systemic in animals or may affect a single organ, such as the mouth, urinary tract, and skin. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic diversity of C. albicans isolated from different animals and investigate the presence of a relationship between host specifi...
متن کاملChromosome-length polymorphism in fungi.
The examination of fungal chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has revealed that length polymorphism is widespread in both sexual and asexual species. This review summarizes characteristics of fungal chromosome-length polymorphism and possible mitotic and meiotic mechanisms of chromosome length change. Most fungal chromosome-length polymorphisms are currently uncharacterized with res...
متن کاملUse of amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis to identify medically important Candida spp., including C. dubliniensis.
Non-Candida albicans Candida species are increasingly being isolated. These species show differences in levels of resistance to antimycotic agents and mortality. Therefore, it is important to be able to correctly identify the causative organism to the species level. Identification of C. dubliniensis in particular remains problematic due to the high degree of phenotypic similarity between this s...
متن کاملGenetics and molecular biology in Candida albicans.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans. Although a normal part of our gastrointestinal flora, C. albicans has the ability to colonize nearly every human tissue and organ, causing serious, invasive infections. In this chapter we describe current methodologies used in molecular genetic studies of this organism. These techniques include rapid sequential gene disruption, DNA...

Although the novel coronavirus does not seem to be as readily transmissible between people as that which caused the SARS epidemic in 2003, vigilance and continu...
