Identification of medically important yeasts by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and D1/D2 region of the large ribosomal subunit

Case report: Catheter related blood stream infection caused by Candida vulturna

“…Therefore, molecular methods were required for accurate identification. Several researchers have reported that sequence analyses of D1/D2 regions were able to clearly differentiate between all the species in candida genus [ 12 ].…”

Pericardial Effusion Due to Trichosporon japonicum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…T. japonicum was identified by the MALDI TOF MS and DNA sequencing confirmed the identification. Whereas the ITS and D1/D2 domains of rDNA are considered as the gold standard for medically important yeasts identification [ 12 ], in this present case, they could not differentiate T. japonicum , T. asahii and T. asteroides . The IGS region is more discriminating and has confirmed the species ( Table S1 ).…”

Multiplex size marker (YEAST PLEX) for rapid and accurate identification of pathogenic yeasts

“…The prevalence of opportunistic fungal diseases, including those caused by yeast infections, has been soaring in recent decades as a result of an increasing number of susceptible patients. 1 Candida species are the third or fourth most common causes of healthcare‐associated infections with a mortality of up to 40%. 2 Candida albicans is still the leading human pathogenic Candida species; however, during the last two decades, non‐ C .…”
