Abstract
Among 302 clinical yeast isolates originally identified as Candida albicans, we found 16 isolates that did not hybridize with the C. albicans- specific repetitive DNA element CARE-2. These 16 isolates produced abundant chlamydospores, did not grow at 43 °C, and exhibited a distinct randomly amplified polymorphic DNA profile. Sequence analysis of part of the 28S rDNA demonstrated that the CARE-2-negative isolates are not an atypical subgroup of C. albicans but belong to the recently described new species C. dubliniensis.
