The new species Candida nivariensis, isolated from the clinical samples of three patients in Spain over a 3-year period, is presented here. This species can be easily differentiated from Candida glabrata, the closest genetic species, by different colony color on CHROMagar and by its ability to ferment trehalose. The analyses of the internal transcribed spacer region and the D1-D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene sequences support a new species designation.

Background And Purpose: Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection that affects the nails, caused by various fungal agents. Moreover, yeast onychomycosis has increased in recent years. Yeast isolates might not be identified at the species level by conventional methods, whereas molecular methods can identify yeast isolates more accurately.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system is extremely useful for genome editing in many species, including the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and other yeast species. We have previously reported the use of an inducible CRISPR-Cas9 system in Candida glabrata, which allows genome editing but also the study of double-strand break (DSB) repair. We report, in this study, a comparable system for C.

In this study, three cases of vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by are described and identified by Internal Transcribed Spacer 1-2 sequencing. All isolates were susceptible in vitro to anidulafungin, micafungin, caspofungin, 5-flucytosine, posaconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, and showed dose-dependent susceptibility to fluconazole.

Yeast cells involved in fermentation processes face various stressors that disrupt redox homeostasis and cause cellular damage, making the study of oxidative stress mechanisms crucial. In this investigation, we isolated a resilient yeast strain, GXAS-CN, capable of thriving in the presence of high concentrations of HO. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the up-regulation of multiple antioxidant genes in response to oxidative stress.
