Candida dubliniensis sp. nov.: phenotypic and molecular characterization of a novel species associated with oral candidosis in HIV-infected individuals
TL;DR: Atypical oral Candida isolates recovered from 60 HIV-infected and three HIV-negative individuals strongly suggest that they constitute a novel species within the genus Candida for which the name Candida dubliniensis is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candida dubliniensis: Characteristics and Identification
TL;DR: Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species of chlamydospore- and germ tube-positive yeast which has been recovered primarily from the oral cavities of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals and AIDS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal drug susceptibilities of oral Candida dubliniensis isolates from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and non-HIV-infected subjects and generation of stable fluconazole-resistant derivatives in vitro.

TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrate that C. dubliniensis is inherently susceptible to commonly used antifungal drugs, that fluconazole resistance does occur in clinical isolates, and that stable fluconzole resistance can be readily induced in vitro following exposure to the drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple, inexpensive, reliable method for differentiation of candida dubliniensis from candida albicans
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the growth of 120 isolates of C dubliniensis and 98 C albicans isolates at 42 and 45°C on Emmons' modified Sabouraud glucose agar (SGA) and 10 of each species in yeast-peptone-dextrose broth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candidiasis : the emergence of a novel species, Candida dubliniensis
David C. Coleman,Derek J. Sullivan,Désirée E. Bennett,Gary P. Moran,Hugh J. Barry,Diarmuid B. Shanley +5 more
TL;DR: The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, mucosal colonization by commensal yeasts, medical therapies which involve invasive surgical procedures and the use of indwelling central venous catheters render patients vulnerable to infection by a wide variety of opportunistic fungal pathogens.
