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 ...

Gene flow contributes to diversification of the major fungal pathogen Candida albicans
Nature Communications, 2018 Elucidating population structure and levels of genetic diversity and recombination is necessary to understand the evolution and adaptation of species. Candida albicans is the second most frequent agent of human fungal infections worldwide, causing high ...

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.

Candida albicans induces mucosal bacterial dysbiosis that promotes invasive infection
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Infectious complications are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy due to increased risk of oral and gastrointestinal candidiasis, candidemia and septicemia. Interactions between C.

Candida albicans pathogenicity mechanisms
Virulence, 2013 The polymorphic fungus Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microbiome. In most individuals, C. albicans resides as a lifelong, harmless commensal. Under certain circumstances, however, C.

Candida albicans-Induced Epithelial Damage Mediates Translocation through Intestinal Barriers
mBio, 2018 Life-threatening systemic infections often occur due to the translocation of pathogens across the gut barrier and into the bloodstream. While the microbial and host mechanisms permitting bacterial gut translocation are well characterized, these ...

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.
