Multilocus Sequence Typing of <i>Candidaglabrata</i> Reveals Geographically EnrichedClades
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
The haploid pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata is the second most common Candida species isolated from cases of bloodstream infection. The clinical relevance of C. glabrata is enhanced by its reduced susceptibility to fluconazole. Despite this, little is known of the epidemiology or population structure of this species. We developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for C. glabrata and used it to...
