Concordance analysis between different methodologies used for identification of oral isolates of Candida species

Colomb. med; 49 (3), 2018
Abstract Background: The yeasts species determination is fundamental not only for an accurate diagnosis but also for establishing a suitable patient treatment. We performed a concordance study of five methodologies for the species identification of oral isolates of Candida in Colombia. Methods: Sixty...

Phenotype-driven strategies for screening Candida parapsilosis complex for molecular identification

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract In this study, phenotypic methods presented >80% agreement with the molecular identification of 59 Candida parapsilosis complex. Growth at 15% NaCl or pH 7.0 significantly reduced cfu-counts of Candida orthopsilosis, suggesting these conditions may support the development of phenotypic method...

Comparison of four molecular approaches to identify Candida parapsilosis complex species

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (3), 2017
Since the description of Candida orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis in 2005, several methods have been proposed to identify and differentiate these species from C. parapsilosis sensu stricto. Species-specific uniplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed and compared with sequencing of the D1/D2 r...
