Pathogenesis and Virulence of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
Fungal infections in humans have historically received comparatively less attention than those caused by bacteria and viruses. This may, in part, stem from the relative differences in infection prevalence. However, the more widespread use of immunosuppressive therapy, invasive surgery and medical devices in modern medicine has resulted in a more ...

The Validity of Point-of-Care Test (POCT) Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay (LFIA) Candida albicans for the Diagnosis of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Berkala Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (Periodical of Dermatology and Venerology)
Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most common causes of complaints of vaginal discharge, which is mostly caused by Candida albicans. The common diagnosis of vulvovaginal candidiasis is microscopic and culture examination.

Oral candidiasis among African human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals: 10 years of systematic review and meta-analysis from sub-Saharan Africa

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
Oral candidiasis (OC) is the most common opportunistic fungal infection among immunocompromised individuals. This systematic review and meta-analysis reports on the contribution of non-albicans Candida species in causing OC among human immunodeficiency ...

Beyond Candida albicans: Mechanisms of immunity to non-albicans Candida species [PDF]

Cytokine, 2015
The fungal genus Candida encompasses numerous species that inhabit a variety of hosts, either as commensal microbes and/or pathogens. Candida species are a major cause of fungal infections, yet to date there are no vaccines against Candida or indeed any other fungal pathogen.

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO Coating on Biodegradable Fe‐Based Alloys

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A biodegradable Fe69Mn30C1 alloy is coated with ZnO using atomic layer deposition at 100 °C. Coating thickness impacts surface roughness, wettability, and in vitro degradation while maintaining hydrophilicity. The ZnO coating exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, achieving an inhibitory rate of up to 99.2%, and can ...

Host carbon sources modulate cell wall architecture, drug resistance and virulence in a fungal pathogen [PDF]

, 2012
The survival of all microbes depends upon their ability to respond to environmental challenges. To establish infection, pathogens such as Candida albicans must mount effective stress responses to counter host defences while adapting to dynamic changes in
