Candida galli as a cause of tinea unguium-molecular characterization of a rare clinical fungal entity.

摘要: We present the first clinical report of an infection caused by Candida galli, anamorphic yeast species in Yarrowia clade. C. galli has been described literature only four times, but never before it isolated from samples. The colony morphology on Sabouraud medium and morphotype CHROMagar were similar to lipolytica as well carbon assimilation profile. phenotypic differences with non-assimilation N-acetyl glucosamine, absence urease activity, growth 10 % NaCl 5 glucose vitamin-free medium. MALDI–TOF MS could not generate reliable identification strain. Molecular analysis based amplification ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA regions confirmed identity galli. Antifungal susceptibility test clearly demonstrated high MICs 5-fluorocytosine, amphotericin B fluconazole, belonging
