The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans switches heritably and at high frequency between
at least seven general phenotypes identified by colony morphology on agar. Spontaneous …

Most strains of Candida albicans are capable of switching frequently and reversibly between
a number of phenotypes distinguishable by colony morphology. A number of different …

DNA fingerprinting methods have evolved as major tools in fungal epidemiology. However,
no single method has emerged as the method of choice, and some methods perform better …

When cells of the dimorphic yeast Candida albicans are grown to stationary phase in defined
liquid medium at 25C, they accumulate as singlets in G l of the cell cycle. When these …

The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β plays an important role in antifungal immunity; however,
the mechanisms by which fungal pathogens trigger IL-1β secretion are unclear. In this study …

The relationship between the configuration of the mating type locus (MTL) and white-opaque
switching in Candida albicans has been examined. Seven genetically unrelated clinical …

Candida albicans WO-1 switches reversibly and at high frequency between a white and an
opaque colony-forming phenotype that includes dramatic changes in cell morphology and …

Select strains of Candida albicans switch reversibly and at extremely high frequency between
a white and an opaque colony-forming phenotype, which has been referred to as the white…

While the age of the host has been suggested as a determining factor in yeast carriage, no
studies in which the genetic relatedness of isolates has been assessed in combination with …

The haploid pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata is the second most common Candida
species isolated from cases of bloodstream infection. The clinical relevance of C. glabrata is …
