Candida albicans is increasing as an opportunistic pathogen causing candidemia and candidiasis worldwide. In addition, other non-albicans Candida species are now also associated with pertinent infections. These include the closely related C. dubliniensis, which shares many phenotypic similarities with C. albicans. These similarities pose problems in the identification of isolates and have previously led to misidentification of these species. As a result, several identification techniques based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics have been developed to differentiate between these Candida species. This review will focus on the similarities and differences between these two Candida species highlighting different identification methods and their advantages and disadvantages.
白色念珠菌作为一种机会性病原体，在全球范围内导致念珠菌血症和念珠菌病的发病率不断增加。此外，其他非白色念珠菌属念珠菌物种现在也与相关感染有关。其中包括密切相关的杜波依斯念珠菌，它与白色念珠菌有许多表型相似之处。这些相似之处给分离株的鉴定带来了问题，并导致这些物种以前被错误鉴定。因此，已经开发了几种基于表型和基因型特征的鉴定技术来区分这些念珠菌物种。这篇综述将重点介绍这两种念珠菌之间的异同，突出不同的鉴定方法及其优缺点。
