Abstract

Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis genotype differences among Israeli ethnic groups were assessed. Isolates from Jews (51), Arabs (35) and Druze (25) were genotyped. The distributions among ethnic groups were not different, however they differed (p = 0.002) from global populations. Therefore, C. albicans and C. dubliniensis genotype distribution differences in Israel are related to changes in all ethnic groups.

Abstract

Two isolates of Candida dubliniensis were identified from a collection of 30 examined from Israel in a molecular epidemiology study. The 30 isolates were tentatively identified as Candida albicans. The new species, C. dubliniensis, is being reported from new geographic locales. These two isolates, from an Arab and a Druze patient, are the first to be reported from the Middle East.
