A comparative study on the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes of C. albicans and non-albicans Candida species isolated from HIV+/AIDS patients and healthy individuals [PDF]
Current Medical Mycology, 2022 Background and Purpose: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as other immunodeficiency disorders, which is caused by various Candida species,mostly ...

Candida albicans Biofilms and Human Disease.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2015 In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this species asymptomatically colonizes many areas of the body, particularly ...

Candida albicans gains azole resistance by altering sphingolipid composition
Nature Communications, 2018 Fungal infections by drug-resistant Candida albicans pose a global public health threat. However, the pathogen’s diploid genome greatly hinders genome-wide investigations of resistance mechanisms.

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

Iron at the Centre of Candida albicans Interactions
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Iron is an absolute requirement for both the host and most pathogens alike and is needed for normal cellular growth. The acquisition of iron by biological systems is regulated to circumvent toxicity of iron overload, as well as the growth deficits ...

Multi-species biofilm of Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans Candida species on acrylic substrate [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2012 In polymicrobial biofilms bacteria extensively interact with Candida species, but the interaction among the different species of the Candida is yet to be completely evaluated. In the present study, the difference in biofilm formation ability of clinical isolates of four species of Candida in both single-species and multi-species combinations on the ...

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.

An Update on the Roles of Non-albicans Candida Species in Vulvovaginitis
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Candida species are one of the commonest causes of vaginitis in healthy women of reproductive age. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is characterized by vulvovaginal itching, redness and discharge.

Candida albicans: Adapting to Succeed [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2013 In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Lu et al. (2013) report on the redundancy of signaling pathways controlling Candida albicans filamentation and pathogenicity. In the process, they provide important insight into how this normal commensal of humans adapts to different host microenvironments to become a highly successful opportunistic pathogen.

Species identification of Candida isolated from clinical specimens in a tertiary care hospital
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2016 Background: Candida species are responsible for various clinical manifestations from mucocutaneous overgrowth to blood stream infections especially in immunocompromized situations. Although C. albicans is the most prevalent species, high incidence of non-
