Candida dubliniensis Infection, Singapore
To the Editor: We read with interest the letter by Marriott et al. (1) describing the first case of Candida dubliniensis fungemia in Australia. We report the first two cases of C. dubliniensis infection in Singapore. We have been using the API 20C AUX on all yeast isolates from blood, sterile fluids, and tissue to screen for C. dubliniensis since May 2000. To our knowledge, this infection has n...
متن کاملCandida dubliniensis: An update.
The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented [1-4]. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised individuals, it is perhaps not surprising that species previously not associated with human disease and novel species previously unknown to science have been identified as po...
متن کاملPrevalence of Candida dubliniensis isolates in a yeast stock collection.
To establish the historical prevalence of the novel yeast species Candida dubliniensis, a survey of 2,589 yeasts originally identified as Candida albicans and maintained in a stock collection dating back to the early 1970s was undertaken. A total of 590 yeasts, including 93 (18.5%) beta-glucosidase-negative isolates among 502 isolates that showed abnormal colony colors on a differential chromog...
متن کاملClonality structure in Candida dubliniensis.
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was performed on 76 European strains of Candida dubliniensis. Ten of the 20 enzyme-encoding loci were polymorphic, giving rise to 10 electrophoretic types within the sample studied. Investigation of the population genetics of a subset of 36 strains from HIV-infected patients in London showed the existence of strong heterozygote deficits and excesses associated ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Source of Candida dubliniensis
We isolated Candida dubliniensis from a nonhuman source, namely, tick samples from an Irish seabird colony. The species was unambiguously identifi ed by phenotypic and genotypic means. Analysis of the 5.8S rRNA gene showed that the environmental isolates belong to C. dubliniensis genotype 1.
