Candida albicans Potassium Transporters

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Potassium is basic for life. All living organisms require high amounts of intracellular potassium, which fulfils multiple functions. To reach efficient potassium homeostasis, eukaryotic cells have developed a complex and tightly regulated system of transporters present both in the plasma membrane and in the membranes of internal organelles that allow ...

Candida albicans proteinases [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2006
Candida species are ubiquitous commensal yeast that usually reside as part of an individual´s normal mucosal microflora and can be detected in approximately 50% of the population in this form. However, if the balance of the normal flora is disrupted or the immune defences are compromised, Candida species can invade mucosal surfaces and cause disease ...

Synergistic potential of teriflunomide with fluconazole against resistant Candida albicans in vitro and in vivo

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionCandida albicans is the primary cause of systemic candidiasis, which is involved in high morbidity and mortality. Drug resistance exacerbates these problems. In addition, there are limited antifungal drugs available.

Mucosal biofilms of Candida albicans [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2011
Biofilms are microbial communities that form on surfaces and are embedded in an extracellular matrix. C. albicans forms pathogenic mucosal biofilms that are evoked by changes in host immunity or mucosal ecology. Mucosal surfaces are inhabited by many microbial species; hence these biofilms are polymicrobial.

Candiduria: Prevalence and Trends in Antifungal Susceptibility in A Tertiary Care Hospital of Mangalore [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Objective: The incidence of Candida has been on rise worldwide. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) as a result of Candida species are becoming, common in hospitalised patients. Clinicians face dilemma in differentiating colonization from true candiduria.

First detection of mutated ERG11 gene in vulvovaginal Candida albicans isolates at Ouagadougou/Burkina Faso

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Vulvovaginal candidiasis is an important cause of morbidity among women due to Candida species. In the last decades, resistance to azoles, first-line antifungals has increased.

Candida albicans skin abscess [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2006
Subcutaneous candidal abscess is a very rare infection even in immunocompromised patients. Some cases are reported when breakdown in the skin occurs, as bacterial cellulites or abscess, iatrogenic procedures, trauma and parenteral substance abuse. We describe a case of Candida albicans subcutaneous abscess without fungemia, which can be associated with

Candida albicans and Antifungal Peptides

Infectious Diseases and Therapy, 2023
Candida albicans, a ubiquitous opportunistic fungal pathogen, plays a pivotal role in human health and disease. As a commensal organism, it normally resides harmlessly within the human microbiota. However, under certain conditions, C. albicans can transition into a pathogenic state, leading to various infections collectively known as candidiasis.
