MULTI-LOCUS NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCE TYPING OF DNA EXTRACTED FROM POOLED COLONIES DETECTS MULTIPLE UNRELATED CANDIDA ALBICANS STRAINS IN A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF PATIENT SAMPLES

Multi-Locus Next-Generation Sequence Typing of DNA Extracted From Pooled Colonies Detects Multiple Unrelated Candida albicans Strains in a Significant Proportion of Patient Samples

The yeast Candida albicans is an important opportunistic human pathogen.For C.albicans strain typing or drug susceptibility testing, a single colony recovered from a patient sample is normally used.This is insufficient when multiple strains are present at the site sampled.How often this is the case is unclear.Previous studies, confined to oral, vag

Priapism Following hCG Administration In A Cat

Priapism, defined as a persistent and painful penile erection in the absence of sexual excitation, is an uncommon disorder of cats that usually requires penile amputation and perineal urethrostomy.This report describes a case of priapism in a short-haired Persian male cat aged 3 years.The condition here had appeared after attempted mating with a fe
