تعیین توالی در چند ناحیه ژنی (MLST): یک روش تایپینگ مولکولی با قدرت تمایز بسیار بالا جهت شناسایی گونههای کاندیدا آلبیکنس در مطالعات اپیدمیولوژیکی
Candida spp. are ubiquitous yeasts commonly. Those are commensally and opportunist pathogens in humans. Candidiasis in immunocompromised patients and patients with severe underlying diseases or critical illnesses need aggressive diagnosis or treatment procedures. Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the most frequently isolated species. For prevention of nosocomial infections caused by C. albicans...
متن کاملUsefulness of multilocus sequence typing for characterization of clinical isolates of Candida albicans.
Molecular characterization of Candida albicans isolates is essential for understanding the epidemiology of nosocomial infections caused by this yeast. Here, we investigated the potential value of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for characterizing epidemiologically related or unrelated C. albicans strains of various clinical origins. Accordingly, we sequenced the internal regions (loci) of six...
متن کاملCollaborative consensus for optimized multilocus sequence typing of Candida albicans.
A panel of 86 different Candida albicans isolates was subjected to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in two laboratories to obtain sequence data for 10 published housekeeping gene fragments. Analysis of data for all possible combinations of five, six, seven, eight, and nine of the fragments showed that a set comprising the fragments AAT1a, ACC1, ADP1, MPIb, SYA1, VPS13, and ZWF1b was the smalle...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing for differentiation of strains of Candida tropicalis.
A system is described for typing isolates of the pathogenic fungus Candida tropicalis, based on sequence polymorphisms in fragments of six genes: ICL1, MDR1, SAPT2, SAPT4, XYR1, and ZWF1a. The system differentiated 87 diploid sequence types (DSTs) among a total of 106 isolates tested or 80 DSTs among 88 isolates from unique sources. Replicate isolates from the same source clustered together wit...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing for Molecular Epidemiology of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Clinical and Environmental Isolates from a Tertiary Hospital in West of Iran
Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic bacterium, contributing to different hospital-acquired infections and can be acquired from different hospital setting sources. Epidemiological study of S. maltophilia in the hospital also demonstrates the intrahospital distribution of certain strains of bacteria in healthcare facilities. The aim of the current study was to identify th...
