Population genomics of the pathogenic yeast Candida tropicalis identifies hybrid isolates in environmental samples
31 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Candida tropicalis is a human pathogen that primarily infects the immunocompromised. Whereas the genome of one isolate, C. tropicalis MYA-3404, was originally sequenced in 2009, there have been no large-scale, multi-isolate studies of the genetic and phenotypic diversity of this species. Here, we used whole genome sequencing and phenotyping to characterize 77 isolates of C. tropicalis from clinical and...
