“…The species C. albicans was named to accommodate several yeasts with identical characteristics, which were thus synonyms of C. albicans . The genus name Candida was accepted and, by 1930, recommended by others in the field (Ciferri & Redaelli, 1929; Ashford, 1930). Candida was adopted by the Eighth Botanical Congress in 1954 as a nomen conservandum .…”

We used multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) to investigate 35 yeast isolates representing the two genome-sequenced strains plus the type strain of Candida albicans, four isolates originally identified as Candida stellatoidea type I and 28 representing type strains of other species now regarded as synonymous with C. albicans. DNA from all 32 C. albicans synonyms readily formed PCR products with the C. albicans MLST primer sets. Their sequences placed all of them within the existing C. albicans clade structure, represented by 1516 isolates. One isolate, originally received as Mycotorula sinensis, was resistant to flucytosine, but no other unusual susceptibilities were found to polyene, azole or echinocandin antifungal agents. The four isolates of C. stellatoidea type I coclustered with two other sucrose-negative isolates, originally identified as examples of Candida africana, in a group of strains highly distinct from the majority of C. albicans. Our results not only confirm the synonymity of all the isolates with C. albicans but also confirm an obvious genotypic difference in the case of C. stellatoidea type I.

“…However, the number that develop symptomatic vaginal infections is There seems to be evidence that there is an increased incidence in patients with certain forms of diarrhea and in those who develop diarrhea while receiving antibiotic therapy. Ashford20- 21 The oral cavity also seems to be a normal habitat, and a great number of workers have noted the presence of C. albicans in normal mouths.26-28 Some reports stress a higher incidence in mouths containing carious teethz9* 30 and in a common condition known as p e r l e~h e .~~ Species of Candida other than albicans and species of Cryptococcus (Torula) have frequently been isolated from normal skin. Benham and Hopkins, 22 Croft and Black,a2 and MackinnorP have all failed to find C. albicans on normal skin.…”
