<i>Candida parapsilosis</i>,<i>Candida orthopsilosis</i>, and<i>Candida metapsilosis</i>virulence in the non-conventional host<i>Galleria mellonella</i>

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of fungal infections due to C. parapsilosis and closely related cryptic species (-psilosis complex) has increased in the last few years, but differences in virulence among these species have not been widely studied. Fifteen clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis, including the type strains, were used to evaluate their virulence in Galleria mellonella larvae....
