BACKGROUND
Yeast vaginitis is a common infection. Data on the identity and prevalence of the etiological species would serve both epidemiological and therapeutic ends. Proteinase secretion by the invading yeast has been implicated in facilitating infection. Hence a prospective study was conducted to
ScOpi1p is a well-characterized transcriptional repressor and master regulator of inositol and phospholipid biosynthetic genes in the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An ortholog has been shown to perform a similar function in the pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata, but with the distinction

The patients are acutely ill with high fever, diarrhea and/or vomiting, with a rash, with
Candida albicans isolates from nondiabetic, nonpregnant outpatients with vaginitis were compared for in vitro proteinase secretion with isolates from women without specific candidal vaginitis symptomatology (carriers). Proteinase production was assayed in medium containing bovine hemoglobin (BH-P;
