By extending the ISO standard test with genomic technologies, these shortcomings may be circumvented. However, genomic information on F. candida is very poor: a search for sequences yields only 52 hits in the National Center of Biotechnology (NCBI;[16]) nucleotide database (July 5th 2007), mainly consisting of 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase sequences used as phylogenetic markers.
