<i>Candida albicans</i> is the most frequent fungal species responsible for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), which exhibits distinct genetic diversity that is linked with the clinical phenotype. This study aimed to assess the genotypes and clinical characteristics of different <i>C. albicans</i> isolates from VVC patients. Based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST), clade 1 was identified as the largest <i>C. albicans</i> group, which appeared most frequently in recurrent VVC and treatment failur ...[more]
