Filamentous Non-albicans Candida Species Adhere to Candida albicans and Benefit From Dual Biofilm Growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Non-albicans Candida species (NACS) are often isolated along with Candida albicans in cases of oropharyngeal candidiasis. C. albicans readily forms biofilms in conjunction with other oral microbiota including both bacteria and yeast.

Intravaginal poly-(D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid)-(polyethylene glycol) drug-delivery nanoparticles induce pro-inflammatory responses with Candida albicans infection in a mouse model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
In a recent study, using an in vitro model to study intravaginal nanoparticle exposure during yeast infections, we demonstrated that C. albicans exposure suppressed apoptotic gene expression and induced oxidative stress and pyroptosis in vaginal ...

Increased Virulence and Large-Scale Reduction in Genome Size of Tetraploid Candida albicans Evolved in Nematode Hosts

open access: yesFrontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of humans, yet the within-host dynamics of C. albicans infection are not clear. While C. albicans is commonly diploid, it exhibits a range of ploidies, including tetraploidy.

Tipping the Balance: C. albicans Adaptation in Polymicrobial Environments [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2018
Candida albicans is a pleiomorphic fungus which co-exists with commensal bacteria in mucosal and skin sites of mammalian hosts. It is also a major co-isolated organism from polymicrobial systemic infections, with high potential for morbidity or mortality in immunocompromised patients.

Insights into the host-pathogen interaction: C. albicans manipulation of macrophage pyroptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The innate immune system is the first defense against invasive fungal infections, including those caused by Candida albicans. Although C. albicans can exist as a commensal, it can also cause systemic or mucosal infections, especially when the innate ...

Collagen‐Based Gut‐on‐Chip for In Vitro Modeling of Intestinal Barrier Function and Host‐Pathogen Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A collagen‐based gut‐on‐chip model replicates the intestinal extracellular matrix, supporting villi‐like structures, tight junctions, and mucin production. This biomimetic platform enables rapid epithelial differentiation and functional barrier formation.

A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...

Gold Nanoparticle-Photosensitizer Conjugate Based Photodynamic Inactivation of Biofilm Producing Cells: Potential for Treatment of C. albicans Infection in BALB/c Mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been found to be effective in inhibiting biofilm producing organisms. We investigated the photodynamic effect of gold nanoparticle (GNP) conjugated photosensitizers against Candida albicans biofilm.

Autophagy Alters the Susceptibility of Candida albicans Biofilms to Antifungal Agents

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Candida albicans (C. albicans) reigns as a major cause of clinical candidiasis. C. albicans biofilms are known to increase resistance to antifungal agents, making biofilm-related infections particularly challenging to treat.
