Abstract excerpt
The human commensal yeast Candida glabrata is becoming increasingly important as an agent of nosocomial bloodstream infection. However, relatively little is known concerning the genetics and population structure of this species. We have analyzed 230 incident bloodstream isolates from previous and current population-based surveillance studies by using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Our results show that in the...
