Abstract:

In considering the question of mixed mycotic infections, one is faced with a number of issues related to the specific pathogenic strategies that have developed in different species and related to the phylogenetic levels of unrelatedness. First, one must consider, where relevant, the issues of commensalism, opportunism, and infection. Second, one must consider exactly what is meant by mixed colonization, or mixed infection, as it relates to genetic relatedness. Mixing can occur between kingdoms (e.g., bacteria and fungi), between genera within a kingdom (e.g., . And spp.), between species within a genus (e.g., and ), between strains within a species, and between substrains within a strain, a result of microevolution. Each of these combinations is relevant since each involves combinations of genetically distinct organisms with potentially different phenotypes, even at the substrain level. In this context, colonizing populations can also contain mixed phenotypes that are quite stable but which may be the result of high-frequency phenotypic switching systems that involve epigenetic mechanisms rather than genetic change at the level of DNA sequence. The intention of this chapter is to consider all of the levels of genetic and phenotypic mixing.

This set of isolates has been separated into three clusters and outliers (strains not in clusters). The unrelated and highly related ranges of s are arbitrarily set between 0.57 and 0.80 and between 0.90 and 0.99, respectively ( ). Strains were fingerprinted by Southern blot analysis with the complex probe Ca3.

Collections of clonal isolates, each from a primary sample from two patients (P2 and P3), were DNA fingerprinted with the complex probe Ca3 and incorporated into a mixed dendrogram that includes a more general collection of unrelated isolates. Note how the P2 and P3 collections cluster at very high s and exhibit microevolution in each case.
