Analysis of clinical and environmental Candida parapsilosis isolates by microsatellite genotyping – a tool for hospital infections surveillance

Candida parapsilosis emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen, causing candidaemia worldwide. Nosocomial outbreaks triggered by this species have been frequently described, particularly in cancer patients. For a better understanding of its epidemiology, several typing methods are used and micr...
