Induction of germ tube formation by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in Candida albicans: uptake of inducer and germinative response.
TL;DR: The data suggest that utilization of the inducer for wall synthesis is a determinant of germ tube formation C. albicans but that the nature and extent of inducer uptake is not a key event for this phenomenon to occur.

Biotype Diversity of Candida parapsilosis and Its Relationship to the Clinical Source and Experimental Pathogenicity
Antonio Cassone,F De Bernardis,E Pontieri,G Carruba,Corrado Girmenia,P. Martino,M. Fernandez-Rodriguez,Guillermo Quindós,José Pontón +8 more
TL;DR: Among clinical isolates, secretion of aspartyl proteinase was higher in vaginitis than in candidemia isolates and did not correlate with the experimental pathogenicity, which emphasize the biotype diversity of C. parapsilosis.

DNA fingerprinting and electrophoretic karyotype of environmental and clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the electrophoretic analysis of the karyotype might be particularly useful for epidemiological and pathogenicity studies on biotypes of C. parapsilosis.
73
Filamentous growth and elevated vaginopathic potential of a nongerminative variant of Candida albicans expressing low virulence in systemic infection.
TL;DR: Experimental vaginitis by strain CA-2 is associated with a peculiar filamentous growth in the vagina, through an apparently novel morphological development bypassing classical germ tube formation but ultimately leading to ordinary hyphae.

Correlation of SfiI macrorestriction endonuclease fingerprint analysis of Candida parapsilosis isolates with source of isolation.
E Pontieri,L. Gregori,M. Gennarelli,T. Ceddia,G. Novelli,Bruno Dallapiccola,F De Bernardis,G Carruba +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that SfiI macrorestriction endonuclease patterns seem to be useful in discriminating among C. parapsilosis isolates, with apparent association with source of isolation.
