 The Sanger Institute: Candida dubliniensis Sequencing
The genus Candida contains a range of clinically important yeast-like fungi including the important human pathogen Candida albicans.
Virulence is a polygenic trait in Candida species, therefore comparative genomics is likely to play a major role in understanding virulence in this group as a whole.
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Pathogen Sequencing Unit is sequencing the genome of the fungal pathogen Candida dubliniensis in collaboration with Dr. Derek Sullivan, Dr. Gary Moran and Prof.

 Doctor Fungus: Valid Species, Synonyms, & Teleomorph-Anamorph Relationships for Torulopsis spp.
This obsolete genus is a synonym of Candida
Notes: The yeast known as Torulopsis glabrata was not orginally included in the genus Candida because it neither developed pseudohyphae nor true hyphae.
glabrata was transferred to the genus Candida as C.

 Bioline International Official Site (site up-dated regularly)
The aims of this work were to identify the species of the genus Candida and to analyze the genetic variability intra and inter-specific of 37 strains isolated from different anatomical sites of 11 immune-compromised patients infected with HIV, through the RAPD assay.
The experiments indicated evidence of dynamic process of yeast colonization in HIV-infected patients, and also that certain primers are efficient in the identification of species of the Candida genus.
We can conclude that some primers were efficient in the identification of species of the genus Candida and others were useful in the identification of inter-specific genotypes.

 Candida Species
Although they are the members of the same genus, the various species do have some degree of unique behavior with respect to their colony texture, microscopic morphology on cornmeal tween 80 agar at 25°C (Dalmau method) and fermentation or assimilation profiles in biochemical tests [1274].
Patients receiving fluconazole prophylaxis are particularly at risk of developing infections due to fluconazole-resistant Candida krusei and Candida glabrata strains [182].
Importantly, there has been a recent increase in infections due to non-albicans Candida spp., such as Candida glabrata and Candida krusei [4, 27, 113].

The candida genus is a dimorphic fungus that can exist as a yeast or in mycelial form.
Candida immune complexes consist of antigen (candida albicans) bound to IgG antibodies specific to candida albicans and fragments of complement and are an indication that there is active removal of candida antigen.
Candida Immune Complexes are also present in direct proportion to the candida antigen load and levels decrease quickly when the candida load is reduced.

 critiques
Those using the Candida genus argue that the failure to produce pseudohyphae is an arbitrary separation between the genera Candida and Torulopsis because rare strains may be identified that do produce pseudohyphae.
Those who use the genus name Torulopsis argue that this yeast should be distinct from Candida because it typically does not produce pseudohyphae.
A result of Candida glabrata or Torulopsis glabrata was considered excellent and received a grade of 4.

 Oral Candidiasis
Candidiasis is an opportunistic infectious condition caused by a ubiquitous, saprophytic fungi of the genus Candida, which includes eight species of fungi, the most common of which is Candida albicans.
Candida is commensal organism and part of the normal oral flora in about 30% - 50% of the population, and is capable of producing opportunistic infections within the oral cavity when appropriate predisposing factors exist.
Median rhomboid glossitis is a form of chronic atrophic candidiasis characterized by an asymptomatic, elongated, erythematous patch of atrophic mucosa of the posterior mid-dorsal surface of the tongue due to a chronic Candida infection.

 Mycology Online -- Candida
The genus Candida is characterized by globose to elongate yeast-like cells or blastoconidia that reproduce by multilateral budding.
Within the genus Candida, fermentation, nitrate assimilation and inositol assimilation may be present or absent, however, all inositol positive strains produce pseudohyphae.
Most Candida species are also characterized by the presence of well developed pseudohyphae, however this characteristic may be absent, especially in those species formally included in the genus Torulopsis.
