Misdiagnosis of invasive pulmonary fungal disease caused by drug-resistant Candida tropicalis as airway neoplasm: case report and literature review [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
Invasive pulmonary fungal disease (IPFD) is often missed or misdiagnosed. Here we report a rare case of IPFD caused by multidrug-resistant Candida tropicalis, which was initially misdiagnosed at another hospital as recurrent pulmonary lymphoma because ...

Azole and echinocandin resistance mechanisms and genotyping of Candida tropicalis in Japan: cross-boundary dissemination and animal–human transmission of C. tropicalis infection [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2022
To assess the prevalence and genetic basis of antifungal resistance mechanisms as well as the genotyping of Candida tropicalis from clinical and non-clinical sources in Japan.Eighty C. tropicalis isolates, including 32 clinical isolates recovered from 29 patients and 48 non-clinical isolates recovered from 24 different sources (animals and the ...

Evaluation of the biofilm life cycle between Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Candida tropicalis is an emergent pathogen with a high rate of mortality associated with its biofilm formation. Biofilm formation has important repercussions on the public health system. However, little is still known about its biofilm life cycle.

Fruits are vehicles of drug-resistant pathogenic Candida tropicalis

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Candida tropicalis is the leading cause of non-albicans candidemia in tropical/sub-tropical areas. We detected a predominant genotype of azole-resistant C. tropicalis clinical strains in Taiwan from 2014 to 2018.

Development and Application of a Multiple Cross Displacement Amplification Combined With Nanoparticle-Based Lateral Flow Biosensor Assay to Detect Candida tropicalis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Candida tropicalis is an increasingly opportunistic pathogen that causes serious invasive candidiasis threatening a patient’s life. Traditional methods to detect C. tropicalis infection depends on time-consuming, culture-based gold-standard methods.

Acid Proteinase Secreted by Candida Tropicalis: Functional Analysis of Preproregion Cleavages in C. Tropicalis and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae [PDF]

Microbiology, 1996
The 40 kDa secreted aspartyl proteinase (Sapt1) of Candida tropicalis is a pepsin-like enzyme encoded by the SAPT1 gene. According to the deduced amino acid sequence, Sapt1 has a putative preproregion of 60 amino acids preceding the mature enzyme. Maturation and processing of Sapt1 was analysed in C.

Azole non-susceptible C. tropicalis and polyclonal spread of C. albicans in Central Vietnam hospitals

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2023
Introduction: Candida spp. are responsible for infections ranging from local to systemic, and resistance to antifungal first-line therapy is increasing in non-albicans Candida species. We aimed to determine the etiology of candidiasis and the antifungal resistance of Candida spp. isolated in Hue hospitals, Central-Vietnam.

Similarities and Differences among Species Closely Related to Candida albicans: C. tropicalis, C. dubliniensis, and C. auris

Cellular Microbiology, 2022
Although Candida species are widespread commensals of the microflora of healthy individuals, they are also among the most important human fungal pathogens that under certain conditions can cause diseases (candidiases) of varying severity ranging from mild superficial infections of the mucous membranes to life-threatening systemic infections.

Evaluation of virulence factors and azole resistance mechanisms of Candida tropicalis isolates from head and neck cancer patients with OPC

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2023
Background and Objectives: Candida tropicalis is one of the major non-albicans species causing nosocomial infection. There is limited data about mechanisms of azole-resistance and virulence factors of Candida tropicalis.

Palmitic Acid Inhibits the Virulence Factors of Candida tropicalis: Biofilms, Cell Surface Hydrophobicity, Ergosterol Biosynthesis, and Enzymatic Activity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Biofilm is the fortitude of Candida species infections which eventually causes candidiasis in human. C. tropicalis is one of the predominant Candida species commonly found in systemic infections, next to C. albicans.
