AI-generated Abstract

The research explores the use of polymorphic short and clustered coding-region microsatellites as genetic markers to differentiate strains of Candida albicans. The study highlights the significance of understanding strain diversity and the stability of clonal types in addressing issues related to drug resistance, virulence, and transmission. By identifying seven polymorphic microsatellite loci in C. albicans, the findings aim to enhance the epidemiological study of this pathogenic yeast, particularly concerning the evolution of antifungal resistance in clinical settings.
