Typing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae clinical strains by using microsatellite sequence polymorphism

J Y Malgoire et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

It seems that S. cerevisiae, which was thought for about 30 years to be a nonpathogenic yeast, should now be considered an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we estimated the discrimination ability of the microsatellite sequence amplification technique within a sample of clinical and reference S. cerevisiae strains and S. boulardii reference strains.

First factorial correspondence analysis plane projection in two informative axes of all electrophoretic types observed. Axes 1 and 2 represent 11.73% and 9.56% of the overall variability, respectively. Cluster I includes all S. cerevisiae clinical strains, cluster II includes S. cerevisiae reference strains, and cluster III includes S. boulardii reference strains. Clusters are separated on axis 1, which is the most informative.
