Unveiling the genotypic diversity of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis in the oral cavities of drug abusers in Ahvaz, Iran
Candida albicans is a diploid yeast that, under certain conditions, can cause oral or oropharyngeal infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Recent molecular investigations have classified genotypes A, B, and C for Candida albicans, along with genotype D for Candida dubliniensis. This study aimed to identify the different genotypes of the C. albicans complex in drug abusers in Iran. Oral swabs were collected from drug abusers and cultured on CHROMagar Candida. A 21-plex PCR method was employed for the detection of isolates, and the Candida 25S rDNA gene was amplified using primer pairs CA-INT-L and CA-INT-R for ABC genotyping of C. albicans. Out of the 245 substance abusers screened, 151 individuals (61.63 %) were found to harbor the C. albicans complex. The most common genotype among patients was genotype D (39.1 %), followed by genotype A (31.12 %), genotype B (9.93 %), and genotype C (5.29 %). Additionally, 14.56 % of patients had a mixed genotype. Notably, significant differences in genotype distribution were observed in relation to age, underlying diseases, and marital status (P < 0.05). This study highlights the significance of molecular genotyping in understanding the epidemiology of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis in at-risk groups.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
