Candida nivariensis isolated from a renal transplant patient with persistent candiduria—Molecular identification using ITS PCR and MALDI-TOF☆
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the isolation of Candida nivariensis from a renal transplant patient with persistent candiduria. Biochemical profiling misidentified isolates as Candida glabrata (3/5) and Candida inconspicua (2/5). All isolates produced white colonies on CHROMagar(™) Candida medium. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ribosomal gene sequence analysis and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis (Bruker Biotyper(™) 2.0) identified all isolates as C. nivariensis, demonstrating the utility of MALDI-TOF as a rapid, accurate approach for the identification of cryptic Candida species.

Identification of Candida Species Isolated from Renal Transplant Recipients with Candiduria
BACKGROUND Renal transplantation has long been considered the gold standard medical care for patients with end-stage renal disease. Candiduria continue to be a significant complication for renal transplant recipients. The risk of infections depends on the amount of immunosuppression and exposure to the potential pathogens. OBJECTIVE Molecular identification of Candida species isolated from re...
متن کاملCandida nivariensis isolates from a pregnant patient. Molecular identification using sequencing and MALDI-TOF
Candida nivariensis is a recently described yeast, phenotypically indistinguishable from Candida glabrata. We report a vaginal isolation of C. nivariensis from an Indian pregnant woman, hospitalized for premature ruptured membranes. The isolate was initially incorrectly identified as C. glabrata using Vitek 2 system and then retested by MALDI-TOF. Candida nivariensis identification was then con...
متن کاملIdentification of Candida Species Isolated from Hospitalized Patients with Candiduria
Background and objectives: The incidence of candiduria caused by Candida spp. has increased in recent years, particularly in hospitalized patients. Candiduria is most commonly caused by Candida albicans; however, an increase in the prevalence of non-albicans species has been observed during last decades. This study aimed at molecular identification of Candida species isolated from candiduria in...

متن کاملIdentification and Antifungal Susceptibility Profiles of Candida nivariensis and Candida bracarensis in a Multi-Center Chinese Collection of Yeasts
Candida nivariensis and C. bracarensis are two emerging cryptic species within the C. glabrata complex. Thirteen of these isolates from 10 hospitals in China were studied for their species identification and antifungal susceptibilities. Phenotypic and molecular [rDNA ITS sequencing, D1/D2 sequencing and ITS sequencer-based capillary gel electrophoresis (SCGE)] and matrix-assisted laser desorpti...
