C. albicans NCPF 3153.
The reference strains used in this study were obtained from the British National Collection of Pathogenic Fungi, Bristol, United Kingdom (NCPF); the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. (ATCC); the Colección Española de Cultivos Tipo, Valencia, Spain (CECT); the Universidad del País Vasco strain collection, Bilbao, Spain (UPV); and the Dublin University strain collection (CD).
CD57 is a vaginal isolate of C. dubliniensis (11).
ATCC 20408 is listed in the American Type Culture Collection catalog under C. albicans strains.
