candida pseudorugosa sp. nov., a novel yeast species from sputum.	two yeast strains, strains xh 1026 and xh 1164, isolated from the sputum of an intensive care unit patient with acute pneumonia, were originally identified as candida albicans and c. tropicalis, respectively. sequence analysis of the 26s rrna gene d1/d2 domain and the internal transcribed spacer (its) region indicated that the two strains represent a novel yeast species closely related to c. rogusa. the name candida pseudorugosa sp. nov. is therefore proposed (type strain, as 2.3107 [cbs 10433]) ...	2006	17021068
relative incidence of ascomycetous yeasts in arctic coastal environments.	previous studies of fungi in polar environments have revealed a prevalence of basidiomycetous yeasts in soil and in subglacial environments of polythermal glaciers. ascomycetous yeasts have rarely been reported from extremely cold natural environments, even though they are known contaminants of frozen foods. using media with low water activity, we have isolated various yeast species from the subglacial ice of four glaciers from the coastal arctic environment of kongsfjorden, spitzbergen, includi ...	2011	21221569
molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility testing of clinical isolates of the candida rugosa species complex and proposal of the new species candida neorugosa.	candida rugosa is a poorly known fungal species occasionally involved in human infections. a molecular analysis of the sequences of the d1/d2 domains and the internal transcribed spacer (its) region of the ribosomal genes of 24 clinical isolates phenotypically identified as c. rugosa demonstrated that only 10 (41.6%) isolates belonged to that species. the other isolates were identified as candida pararugosa (41.6%) and candida pseudorugosa (8.3%). the remaining two isolates, from human and equin ...	2012	22553236
first case report of bloodstream infection due to a candida species closely related to the novel species candida pseudorugosa.	candida pseudorugosa is a novel species closely related to candida rugosa for which only one case has been reported. we report the first case of a bloodstream infection in humans caused by a candida sp. closely related to c. pseudorugosa. we contribute evidence to show this organism as a potential human pathogen that may be misidentified by conventional methods, also pointing out its lower sensitivity to azoles and other antifungal agents.	2012	22461681
systematic review and new insights into the molecular characterization of the candida rugosa species complex.	recently, candida rugosa was characterized as a species complex comprising four taxa: c. rugosa sensu stricto, candida pseudorugosa, candida neorugosa and candida mesorugosa. although considered relatively rare, several clusters of candidemia due to c. rugosa complex had been reported presenting mortality rates close to 70%. in this work we discuss the systematization, phenotyping and molecular methods based on internal transcribed spacer region (its) sequencing and proteomic analyses for specie ...	2013	24161727
description of diutina gen. nov., diutina siamensis, f.a. sp. nov., and reassignment of candida catenulata, candida mesorugosa, candida neorugosa, candida pseudorugosa, candida ranongensis, candida rugosa and candida scorzettiae to the genus diutina.	three strains (dmku-re28, dmku-re43t and dmku-re123) of a novel anamorphic yeast species were isolated from rice leaf tissue collected in thailand. dna sequence analysis demonstrated that the species forms a sister pair with candida ranongensis cbs 10861t but differs by 24-30 substitutions in the lsu rrna gene d1/d2 domains and 30-35 substitutions in the its region. a phylogenetic analysis based on both the small and the large rrna gene subunits confirmed this connection and demonstrated the pre ...	2015	26410375
