Abstract
Isoenzyme and protein profiles of clinical isolates initially identified as Candida haemulonii demonstrated the presence of two distinct groups. DNA relatedness studies with representative cultures confirmed the presence of two species. Physiological features that can be used to separate two groups within C. haemulonii are reported.
