Comparative Analysis of Virulence Factors of Homozygous and Heterozygous Strains of Vaginal Isolates.

Although the epidemiology of pathogenic species is changing due to invasive diseases, has become the common cause of human infections worldwide. is a diploid yeast with a mostly clonal mode of reproduction and without known complete sexual cycle. This species has two heterozygous and homozygous strains at hyphal wall protein 1 gene locus ().

Evaluation of biofilm formation in the homozygous and heterozygous strains of vaginal isolates.

Background And Purpose: is one of the most opportunistic yeasts around the world. This species has two heterozygous and homozygous strains at hyphal wall protein 1 () gene locus. A simple method for the discrimination of these two strains is the amplification of gene.
