Susceptibility of Human Prion Protein to Conversion by Chronic Wasting Disease Prions.

abstract：:Candida parapsilosis is an important non-albicans species which infects hospitalized patients. No studies have correlated outbreak infections of C. parapsilosis with multiple virulence factors. We used DNA fingerprinting to determine genetic variability among isolates from a C. parapsilosis outbreak and from our clini...
