First isolation of Candida nivariensis strain in Kuwait
Fungal infections due to rare and uncommon yeast species are increasing globally in prevalence and are associated with high mortality rates. Here, we describe the first isolation and characterization of Candida nivariensis cultured from a tracheal aspirate sample of a 35-year-old Kuwaiti man, who suffered from epilepsy, in Kuwait. The yeast isolate was identified by multiplex PCR and confirmed by the sequencing of the ITS region of rDNA. This report extends the geographic distribution of C. nivariensis to the Middle East and highlights the pathogenic potential of uncommon yeast species causing infections in susceptible hosts.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
