Candida albicans skin abscess [PDF]
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

Synergistic effect in two-phase laser procedure for production of silver nanoparticles colloids applicable in ophthalmology [PDF]
This work reports on the production of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) in water solution based upon two-phase pulsed laser procedure for ophthalmological therapeutic approaches. In this case, the AgNPs should be less then 10 nm and have a narrow size distribution. Nanoparticles of this sized-scale are capable to penetrate the complex ocular barriers, ensuring

Effect of Piper betle and Brucea javanica on the Differential Expression of Hyphal Wall Protein (HWP1) in Non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) Species [PDF]
The study aimed to identify the HWP1 gene in non-Candida albicans Candida species and the differential expression of HWP1 following treatment with Piper betle and Brucea javanica aqueous extracts.

Multi-species biofilm of Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans Candida species on acrylic substrate [PDF]
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 ...

Species identification of Candida isolated from clinical specimens in a tertiary care hospital
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-

Candida albicans: Adapting to Succeed [PDF]
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.

A dynamic fluid landscape mediates the spread of bacteria [PDF]
Microbial interactions regulate their spread and survival in competitive environments. It is not clear if the physical parameters of the environment regulate the outcome of these interactions. In this work, we show that the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa occupies a larger area on the substratum in the presence of yeast such as ...

Molecular Phylogenetics of Candida albicans [PDF]
ABSTRACT We analyzed data on multilocus sequence typing (MLST), ABC typing, mating type-like locus ( MAT ) status, and antifungal susceptibility for a panel of 1,391 Candida albicans isolates. Almost all (96.7%) of the isolates could be assigned by MLST to one of 17 clades.

Candida albicans and Antifungal Peptides
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.
