Abstract:Background: Candida parapsilosis consists of three species of C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. metapsilosis, and C. orthopsilosis. Proteinase activity is considered as one of the major virulence factors in the pathogenicity of Candida species. Objectives: We aimed to discriminate clinical isolates of the C. parapsilosis species complex through analysis of the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH) gene using BanI restriction enzyme and evaluation of proteinase activity among the isolates. Methods: In this stu… Show more
