Article Synopsis
- * Utilizing MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and genetic sequencing methods, researchers identified a core set of six yeast species and two potential novel species, revealing variations largely unrelated to local climates.
- * Genome sequencing of the yeast Kazachstania humilis indicated significant genetic differences from European strains, suggesting distinct populations, which enhances our understanding of these microorganisms and their cultural significance.
Species from the genus are among the most important human fungal pathogens. Several of them are frequent commensals of the human microbiota but are also able to cause a variety of opportunistic infections, especially when the human host becomes immunocompromised. By far, most of the research to understand the molecular underpinnings of the pathogenesis of these species has focused on , the most virulent member of the genus.
