Occurrence of Clavispora lusitaniae, the teleomorph of Candida lusitaniae, among clinical isolates.

Laboratory for Microbial and Biochemical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta 30303.

ABSTRACT

Of 13 clinical isolates of Candida lusitaniae from diverse geographical regions, 7 represented the mating types (6 alpha, 1 a) of the ascomycete Clavispora lusitaniae. Selected nonfertile isolates showed significant DNA relatedness (greater than 90%) to representatives of both mating types. Phenotypic physiological characteristics, such as cellobiose fermentation and rhamnose assimilation, proved insufficient for separation of Clavispora lusitaniae and Clavispora opuntiae.
