Phenotypic characteristics of a slow-growing, nongerminating variant of Candida albicans.
Some of the phenotypic characteristics of a slow-growing, nongerminating variant of a commonly studied strain of Candida albicans are described. The variant arose as a chance isolate. The rate of occurrence was about 0 X 1% and the reversion rate was about 1 per 10(6) cells. The colony size was typically smaller than that of the parent and the yeast cells tended not to separate from one another...
متن کاملCandida albicans: genotyping methods and clade related phenotypic characteristics
Several molecular methods, such as Southern blotting hybridization, Multilocus Sequence Typing, and DNA microsatellite analysis, have been employed to genotype Candida albicans. The genotype analysis allows to group strains in clades, that is, a group composed of one ancestor and its descendants. These genotype studies demonstrate that clades distribution is influenced by geographic area as wel...
متن کاملThe Phenotypic variation of Candida albicans and susceptibility to fluconazole and voriconazole
Candida albicans is the most frequent opportunistic fungal agent in human being. One of its virulence factors is phenotypic switching. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility of different phenotypes of C. albicans, obtained from clinical specimens, to fluconazole (FLZ) and voriconazole (VRZ) with microdilution reference method. In this study, 281 C. albicans of six different phenotype...
متن کاملA Phenotypic Profile of the Candida albicans Regulatory Network
Candida albicans is a normal resident of the gastrointestinal tract and also the most prevalent fungal pathogen of humans. It last shared a common ancestor with the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae over 300 million years ago. We describe a collection of 143 genetically matched strains of C. albicans, each of which has been deleted for a specific transcriptional regulator. This collection re...
متن کاملStress-induced phenotypic switching in Candida albicans.
Candida albicans is both a common commensal and an opportunistic pathogen, being a prevalent cause of mucosal and systemic infections in humans. Phenotypic switching between white and opaque forms is a reversible transition that influences virulence, mating behavior, and biofilm formation. In this work, we show that a wide range of factors induces high rates of switching from white to opaque. T...
