Abstract

Two yeast strains, 153M and NCYC 3133, isolated from clinical sources in separate hospitals were found to be almost identical in the sequences of the D1/D2 domain of large-subunit rDNA, the PCR fingerprinting profiles and physiological characteristics. The isolates are phenotypically similar, although not identical, to and (recently renamed ). Sequence analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 gene variable region revealed that the two clinical isolates were closely related phylogenetically to and , but differed sufficiently to justify their assignment as representatives of a separate species. The name sp. nov. is proposed for the novel species with the type strain 153M (=CBS 10154=NCYC D3853=CECT 12000).
