Background: Genetic variation in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been studied among fungi. However, the numbers of ITS sequence polymorphisms in the various Candida species and their associations with sources of invasive fungal infections remain poorly investigated. Here, we characterized the intraspecific and interspecific ITS diversity of Candida spp.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Carolina Padovan"

  • - Ana Carolina Padovan's research primarily focuses on the genetic diversity of medically significant and emerging Candida species linked to invasive infections.
  • - In her 2015 article, she explored the variations in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region among different Candida species, revealing a lack of extensive investigation into ITS polymorphisms and their connection to sources of infections.
  • - The study contributes to a better understanding of intraspecific and interspecific ITS diversity, emphasizing its importance in addressing the challenges posed by invasive fungal infections.
