title: Oral Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis differentiation by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Five oral strains of Candida albicans and five C. dubliniensis, as well as their respective type-strains, were analyzed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After electrophoreses and numerical analyses, we obtained two distinct species-specific taxa, which may justify the use of MLEE and SDS-PAGE as reliable methods for differentiation and complementary identification of C. dubliniensis.
