Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi

Conrad L. Schoch, +160 more
TL;DR: Among the regions of the ribosomal cistron, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has the highest probability of successful identification for the broadest range of fungi, with the most clearly defined barcode gap between inter- and intraspecific variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity and systematics of basidiomycetous yeasts as determined by large-subunit rDNA D1/D2 domain sequence analysis.

TL;DR: The molecular systematics of 337 strains of basidiomycetous yeasts and yeast-like fungi, representing 230 species in 18 anamorphic and 24 teleomorphic genera, was determined by sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the large-subunit rDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rare genotype of Cryptococcus gattii caused the cryptococcosis outbreak on Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada)

TL;DR: The emergence of this usually tropical pathogen on Vancouver Island highlights the changing distribution of this genotype and emphasizes the importance of an ongoing collaborative effort to monitor the global epidemiology of this yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

ESCMID† and ECMM‡ joint clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of mucormycosis 2013

TL;DR: These European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and European Confederation of Medical Mycology Joint Clinical Guidelines focus on the diagnosis and management of mucormycosis and strongly recommend continuing treatment until complete response demonstrated on imaging and permanent reversal of predisposing factors.
Book ChapterDOI

Methods for isolation, phenotypic characterization and maintenance of yeasts

TL;DR: Under the morphological characterization of yeasts, the strains that are smooth when first isolated sometimes become rough when maintained on agar, and this change is, in some cases, accompanied by a change in texture from butyrous to membranous.
