Candida glabrata petite genome sequences
Candida glabrata is an important fungal pathogen of humans. It can form petite strains, which lack mitochondrial function. These strains were found to be more resistant to antifungals and to attacks by macrophages, and they appear in clinical samples. This study used genome sequencing to determine the cause for the petite phenoytpe in selected clinical samples.
