Roy,

Searching the CBS:

A brief search of that culture collection for the word "candida"
returned the following:

1076 strain(s) found - displaying strain(s) 1 through 20

The ATCC "said" they had 5000 +/- references. But on review, I agree,
there may be multiple uses, and fewer types. Still, my research points
to a huge shift of yeast into the Candida genera.

Yours truly,
