- Letters in applied microbiology
- 1 October 2001
Aims: Three conventional methods and a multiplex PCR procedure with a set of four primers (Quadruplex‐PCR) were used to differentiate between aflatoxin‐producing and non‐producing strains of the… Expand
First molecular method for discriminating between Candida africana, Candida albicans, and Candida dubliniensis by using hwp1 gene.
The authors report here a polymerase chain reaction-based assay using a single primer pair (CR-f/CR-r), allowing discrimination between Candida africana and Candida albicans by using the hwp1 gene.… Expand
High genetic variability in non-aflatoxigenic A. flavus strains by using Quadruplex PCR-based assay.

- 1 April 2015
In recent years, the taxonomy of the most important pathogenic Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis and Candida glabrata) has undergone profound changes due to the description of… Expand
New Insight into Molecular Phylogeny and Epidemiology of Sporothrix schenckii Species Complex Based on Calmodulin-Encoding Gene Analysis of Italian Isolates
- O. Romeo, F. Scordino, G. Criseo
- Biology, Medicine
- Mycopathologia
- 2 April 2011
In this study, we investigated phylogenetic relationships among Italian Sporothrix schenckii isolates, by comparing their partial calmodulin sequences. In this analysis, we used 26 environmental… Expand
Molecular Epidemiology of Candida albicans and Its Closely Related Yeasts Candida dubliniensis and Candida africana
ABSTRACT We performed a molecular study to determine the occurrence of Candida albicans, Candida africana, and Candida dubliniensis in different clinical samples. The study provides new insights into… Expand
Isolation and molecular characterization of Candida africana from Jos, Nigeria.

- Medical mycology
- 17 September 2012
During a survey of the prevalence of Candida spp. in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, two atypical C. albicans isolates were recovered. These two yeasts were germ tube positive, chlamydospore-negative… Expand
Ribosomal DNA Sequencing and Phylogenetic Analysis of Environmental Sporothrix schenckii Strains: Comparison with Clinical Isolates
The authors reported the isolation and genetic characterization of Sporothrix schenckii strains from natural environmental samples and commercial amended and garden soils. Twenty-six isolates were… Expand
Candida africana and its closest relatives
Candida africana is a recently described opportunistic yeast pathogen that has been linked to vaginal candidiasis. This yeast was first described, in 1995, as atypical chlamydospore‐negative Candida… Expand
