Deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting methods for Candida species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of genetic fingerprinting methods have evolved to analyze the population structure and to perform epidemiological and etiological studies of infectious fungi. These methods include multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, restriction fragment-length polymorphism using complex probes, random amplification of polymorphic DNA, and multilocus sequence typing, which are described in this chapter.

Abstract Introduction: Candida albicans are human selective symbiosis, mainly located in the gastrointestinal tract. This group of fungi is pathogenic where host resistance reduces to local or systemic infection. Bacteria are the most common cause of vaginitis, but candida albicans are the second leading cause of such infections. Candida albicans are responsible for 70-90% of the fungal infect...
متن کاملPloidy determination of Canadida albicans.
The dimorphic yeast Candida albicans, as a member of the fungi imperfecti, has been assumed to be in the haploid, or imperfect, state. The deoxyribonucleic acid content of this species has been measured by flow microfluorometry, a technique capable of analyzing single cells. These results were compared with flow microfluorometric deoxyribonucleic acid determinations on a series of strains of Sa...
متن کاملComparison of Boric Acid with Clotrimazole in the Treatment of Recurrent or Resistant Vulvovaginitis Caused by Non-Albicans Species of Candida
Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most common infections in gynecologic filed, and non–albicans Candida species are emerging causative microorganisms. This species shows resistance to routine treatments. One of the suggested treatments is administration of vaginal suppositories of boric acid. The aim of the present study was to compare boric acid with clotrimazole in the treatm...
متن کاملDeoxyribonucleic acid base composition in yeasts.
The deoxyribonucleic acid base composition of 15 species of yeasts was determined to obtain further clues to or supporting evidence for their taxonomic position. Species examined belonged to the genera Saccharomyces, Debaryomyces, Lodderomyces, Metschnikowia, and Candida. The range of moles per cent guanine plus cytosine (GC content) for all yeasts examined extended from 34.9 to 48.3%. The spor...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of complex DNA fingerprinting probes for the infectious yeast Candida dubliniensis.
Using a strategy to clone large genomic sequences containing repetitive elements from the infectious yeast Candida dubliniensis, the three unrelated sequences Cd1, Cd24, and Cd25, with respective molecular sizes of 15,500, 10,000, and 16,000 bp, were cloned and analyzed for their efficacy as DNA fingerprinting probes. Each generated a complex Southern blot hybridization pattern with endonucleas...
