Molecular screening for Candida orthopsilosis and Candidametapsilosis among Danish Candida parapsilosis group blood cultureisolates: proposal of a new RFLP profile for differentiation

Abstract excerpt

Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are recently described species phenotypically indistinguishable from Candida parapsilosis . We evaluated phenotyping and molecular methods for the detection of these species among 79 unique blood culture isolates of the C. parapsilosis group obtained during the years 2004-2008. The isolates were screened by PCR amplification of the secondary alcohol...
