The present study aimed to assess the discriminative power of the six isoenzymatic systems for differentiating the\n Candida<\/jats:italic>\n species.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n Sixteen standard\n Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Candida dubliniensis<\/jats:italic>\n strains and 30 fluconazole-sensitive and fluconazole-resistant clinical strains of\n Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n were analyzed using a Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis (MLEE) method, including six enzymatic systems consisting of malate dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), glucose-phosphate isomerase (GPI), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), and malic enzyme (ME).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Among the six enzymatic systems, ME showed no diagnostic activity, whereas MDH provided the best species-specific pattern for species discrimination. In addition, the MDH and G6PD systems provided a discriminatory pattern for differentiating\n C. dubliniensis<\/jats:italic>\n from\n C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n isolates. The same isoenzymatic activity was detected in all 36 standard and clinical isolates. Moreover, the results showed no correlation between the isoenzymatic profiles and drug resistance.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n Among the investigated MLEE systems, MDH was able to differentiate between\n Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Candida dubliniensis<\/jats:italic>\n . Although no association was detected between isoenzyme patterns and fluconazole resistance in this investigation, isoenzyme patterns are likely correlated with virulence factors between species and even within species. To answer these questions, additional studies should be done on more strains.\n <\/jats:p>\n
