Blood cultures contain populations of genetically diverse <i>Candida albicans</i> strains that may differ in echinocandin tolerance and virulence
2024-10-17
Abstract excerpt
It is unknown whether within-patient Candida albicans diversity is common during bloodstream infections (BSIs). We determined whole genome sequences of 10 C. albicans strains from blood cultures (BCs) in each of 4 patients. BCs in 3 patients contained mixed populations of strains that differed by large-scale genetic variants, including chromosome (Chr) 5 or 7 aneuploidy ( n =2) and Chr1 loss of heterozygosity (...
