Yeasts in amphibians are common: isolation and the first molecular characterization from Thailand

A survey of the presence of yeasts in frogs and toads in Thailand was conducted using standard mycological examination techniques. The results, which were confirmed with molecular techniques, revealed the presence of five yeast species-Cryptococcus liquefaciens, C. heveanensis, Pseudozyma hubeiensis...
