The Versatility of Opportunistic Infections Caused by Isolates Is Supported by the Carriage of Virulence Factors From Multiple Origins.

The molecular basis of the pathogenesis of the opportunistic invasive infections caused by isolates of the genus remains largely unknown. Moreover, inconsistencies in the current species assignation were detected after genome-level comparison of 16 public isolates. A literature search detected that, between the two most pathogenic species, causes about twice the number of cases compared to .
