Genome analysis of five recently described species of the CUG-Ser clade uncoversCandida theaeas a new hybrid lineage with pathogenic potential in theCandida parapsilosisspecies complex

Abstract excerpt

Candida parapsilosis species complex comprises three important pathogenic species: Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis. The majority of C. orthopsilosis and all C. metapsilosis isolates sequenced thus far are hybrids, and most of the parental lineages remain unidentified. This led to the hypothesis that hybrids with pathogenic potential were formed by the...
