Popular Abstract in English Candida glabrata is currently the second most usual cause of yeast infections. This yeast is phylogenetically more related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae than to Candida albicans. Many systemic infections have recently been found associated with C. glabrata yeast. Apparently, this yeast can easily reshuffle its genome and this is one of the topics of my thesis. During the Although the yeast Candida glabrata is considered to be a part of the commensal microflora in healthy individuals, during the last years it has been frequently isolated from patients with mucosal and systemic fungal infections. Now it is considered as the second most frequently isolated pathogenic yeast after Candida albicans. Despite its name, C. glabrata is phylogenetically a closer relative to
