A DNA polymorphism specific to Candida albicans strains exceptionally successful as human pathogens.

Gene - 11 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

A large proportion of infection-causing isolates of the yeast Candida albicans belong to a general-purpose genotype, identifiable by fingerprinting with the moderately repetitive sequence Ca3. The high prevalence of this group -- up to 70% in some patient categories -- suggests that its members possess genetic determinants, which enhance their success as pathogens compared to other strains. To find such...
