ABSTRACT
Diutina (Candida) rugosa is emerging as a causative agent of human infections. Recently some close relatives have been described, that is, D. mesorugosa, D. pseudorugosa, and D. neorugosa, some of which have also been implicated in human infection. Phylogenetic relationships of 24 clinical isolates of the D. rugosa complex are reconstructed using multilocus sequence analysis of five housekeeping genes, supplemented with phenotypic studies of CandiSelect™ 4 Agar and nutritional physiology. Diutina mesorugosa could not meaningfully be distinguished from D. rugosa and is regarded as a synonym. Diutina neorugosa and D. pseudorugosa represent separate, distantly related species within the genus Diutina, but have as yet not been encountered in clinical settings.
