Distribution of secreted aspartyl proteinases using a polymerase chain reaction assay with SAP specific primers in Candida albicans isolates.

Abstract:

:Secreted aspartyl proteinase (Sap) distribution among different C. albicans isolates was determined using SAP-specific primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. SAP1, SAP2, and SAP3 were detected in 13 of 40 (32.5%), SAP4 in 38/40 (95%), SAP5 were detected in 30/40 (75%), SAP6 in 23/40 (57.5%) of C. albicans strains isolated from blood cultures. SAP1-SAP3 were detected in 37 of 40 (92.5%), SAP4 were detected in 3/40 (7.5%), SAP5 in 3/40 (7.5%), SAP6 in 5/40 (12.5%) of C. albicans strains isolated from vaginal swab cultures. Sap1, Sap2 and Sap3 isoenzymes were found to be related to the vaginopathic potential of C. albicans; Sap4, Sap5 and Sap6 isoenzymes were found to be correlated with systemic infections.
