Rapid and unequivocal differentiation of Candida dubliniensis from other Candida species using species-specific DNA probes: comparison with phenotypic identification methods.

Abstract excerpt

Candida dubliniensis is a recently described opportunistic pathogen which shares many phenotypic characteristics with Candida albicans but which has been reported to rapidly acquire resistance to azole antifungal drugs. Therefore, differentiation of C. dubliniensis from C. albicans becomes important to better understand the clinical significance and epidemiologic role of C. dubliniensis in candidiasis. We...
