In a collection of 395 independent clinical isolates classified as Candida parapsilosis on a biochemical profile basis, 20 Candida metapsilosis strains were identified by molecular tests with an isolation frequency of 5%. Isolates were screened for their susceptibility to conventionally used antifungals and for virulence determinants, such as biofilm formation and protease production. Molecular characterization...
