  • Title: Sexual forms of yeasts in clinical samples.
    Author: García-Martos P, Mira J, Galán F, Hernández JM.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; ; 136(2):67-70. PubMed ID: 9208473.
    Abstract:
    The sexual or teleomorphic state of yeasts has only been described in a few clinically involved species, mainly those of the Saccharomycetaceae family. With the aim of gathering information on their incidence in human pathology, a study has been made of a total of 2,135 strains isolated from clinical samples and cultivated in McClary agar. From these, 8 strains in teleomorphic state were identified: Kluyveromyces marxianus [1], Pichia anomala [2], Pichia farinosa [1], Pichia membranaefaciens [1] and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [3]. The two strains of P. anomala were responsible for fungemia; K, marxianus and the two strains of S. cerevisiae produced vaginitis; the other strains were oral cavity colonizers.
