Characterisation, minimum inhibitory concentration, thermotolerance and virulence of Candida isolated from environmental plastic pollution, Scotland, 2023

[This dataset is embargoed until January 2, 2025]. This dataset contains characterisation data, thermotolerance data, anti-fungal drug resistance data and virulence data of Candida isolates from different types of plastic pollution. Samples were collected from marine, estuarine and freshwater environments, and screened for pathogenic species of Candida. These Candida isolates were subsequently assessed for their thermotolerance, anti-fungal drug resistance, and their pathogenicity in a Galleria model of infection. Data were collected as part of grants NE/V005847/1, Sustainable Plastic Attitudes to benefit Communities and their Environments (SPACES), and NE/S005196/1, Microbial hitch-hikers of marine plastics: the survival, persistence & ecology of microbial communities in the 'Plastisphere'.

本数据集将截止至2025年1月2日保密。该数据集包含了源自不同类型塑料污染中的念珠菌分离株的特性数据、耐热性数据、抗真菌药物耐药性数据及致病性数据。样本采集自海洋、河口和淡水环境，并对念珠菌的病原物种进行了筛选。随后，这些念珠菌分离株在感染模型Galleria中，对其耐热性、抗真菌药物耐药性及其致病性进行了评估。数据收集作为NE/V005847/1项目“可持续塑料态度对社区及其环境的益处”（SPACES）以及NE/S005196/1项目“海洋塑料的微生物搭便车者：微生物群落在‘塑料圈’中的生存、持久性与生态学”的一部分。关于本数据集的详细信息可在以下链接查阅：https://doi.org/10.5285/4477f77c-c1c9-44e4-baeb-3353954c8355
