Correction: The Genomic Aftermath of Hybridization in the Opportunistic Pathogen Candida metapsilosis
Candida metapsilosis is a rarely-isolated, opportunistic pathogen that belongs to a clade of pathogenic yeasts known as the C. parapsilosis sensu lato species complex. To gain insight into the recent evolution of C. metapsilosis and the genetic basis of its virulence, we sequenced the genome of 11 clinical isolates from various locations, which we compared to each other and to the available gen...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and antifungal susceptibility of the Candida parapsilosis species complex of clinical isolates from Monterrey, Mexico.
Recently, it was proposed that the opportunistic yeast pathogen Candida parapsilosis was a complex composed of the following three species: Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis. A set of 344 clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis from Monterrey, Mexico was re-identified by RFLP. Their antifungal susceptibility to fluconazole, caspofungin, anidul...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences and Annotation of the Opportunistic Pathogen Candida albicans Strain SC5314 Grown under Two Different Environmental Conditions
The genetic variability of the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans is an important adaptive mechanism. Here, we present the whole-genome sequences of the C. albicans SC5314 strain under two different growth conditions, providing useful information for comparative genomic studies and further intraspecific analysis.
متن کاملPatterns of Genomic Variation in the Opportunistic Pathogen Candida glabrata Suggest the Existence of Mating and a Secondary Association with Humans
Candida glabrata is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that ranks as the second most common cause of systemic candidiasis. Despite its genus name, this yeast is more closely related to the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae than to other Candida pathogens, and hence its ability to infect humans is thought to have emerged independently. Moreover, C. glabrata has all the necessary genes to underg...
متن کاملVasculitis and anaphylactoid shock induced in mice by cell wall extract of the fungus Candida metapsilosis.
To investigate whether cell wall mannan from Candida metapsilosis induces vasculitis similar to that in Kawasaki syndrome and anaphylactoid shock in mice, we examined the pathogenic effects of C. metapsilosis cell wall extracts. Our results show that intraperitoneal injection of cell wall extracts induced severe coronary arteritis, and intravenous injection induced acute anaphylactoid shock sim...
