First isolations in India ofCandida nivariensis, a globally emerging opportunistic pathogen

Abstract: We randomly screened 363 yeast isolates during 2008 for their ability to form white colonies on CHROM agar Candida medium. Two of these isolates (0.5%) were identified as Candida nivariensis based on detailed phenotypic characterization and DNA sequencing. One was recovered from the sputum of an HIV-positive patient with a pneumonic lesion and the second from the blood of a diabetic with oropharyngeal lesions. Direct DNA sequencing of the D1/D2 region of 28S rRNA gene and/or the internal transcribed spacer (IT… Show more

“…Sharma et al (2013)assessed 100 C. glabrata isolates and found five C. nivariensis strains. Chowdhary et al (2010) analyzed 366 C. glabrata complex strains and established that two of them were C. nivariensis. Li et al (2014) conducted a study on 301 isolates of C. glabrata complex cultured from vulvovaginal candidiasis cases.…”

“…The strains were isolated from blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and urine of three patients over a 3-year study period (Alcoba-Flórez et al 2005). Current knowledge indicates that this species occurs worldwide and the number of published cases reaches 108 in Europe (Spain, the UK, France, Poland) (Borman et al 2008; Gorton et al 2013; López-Soria et al 2013; Parmeland et al 2013; Swoboda-Kopeć et al 2014; Aznar-Marin et al 2016; Angoulvant et al 2016), 31 in Asia (Japan, Indonesia, India, China, Malaysia) (Fujita et al 2007; Wahyuningsih et al 2008; Chowdhary et al 2010; Sharma et al 2013; Li et al 2014; Tay et al 2014; Feng et al 2015; Hou et al 2017), 11 in Australia (Lockhart et al 2009; Pinto et al 2011), four in Latin America (Argentina and Brazil) (Morales-López et al 2016; Figueiredo-Carvalho et al 2016) and one case in Africa (Burkina Faso) (Sanata et al 2014).…”

“…These results are in agreement with the previous studies [12, 29], showing the high prevalence of C. glabrata taken into consideration the C. glabrata species complex. The correct identification of yeast species causing invasive mycoses is fundamental to ensure proper management of the patient and specific, early, and effective antifungal therapy [9, 30, 31]. …”
