Candida dubliniensis was first described as a novel species in 1995. This organism is very closely related to the important human yeast pathogen, Candida albicans. However, despite the very close phylogenetic relationship between C albicans and C dubliniensis and the fact that they share a large number of phenotypic traits, epidemiological and virulence model data indicate that the former is a far more successful pathogen. In order to investigate the molecular basis of the lower virulence of C dubliniensis recent comparative genomic hybridisation studies have revealed the absence and divergence of specific genes implicated in candidal virulence. Data from the C dubliniensis genome sequencing project will allow a complete comparison between the genomes of the two species to be performed and thus enhance our understanding of candidal virulence and how virulence has evolved in Candida species.
