Candida glabratadisplays pseudohyphal growth [PDF]
The ability to undergo morphological change has been reported as an advantageous trait in fungal pathogenesis. Here we demonstrate that Candida glabrata ATCC2001, like diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, forms elongated chains of pseudohyphal cells on solid nitrogen starvation media (SLAD).

Candida glabrata: A powerhouse of resistance
This is the final version. Available from Public Library of Science (PLoS) via the DOI in this record. ; Introduction. Candida glabrata (Nakoseomyces glabratus) is a haploid, budding yeast that causes opportunistic nosocomial infections and is garnering increasing attention in line with its changing epidemiological importance.

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

Candida glabrata, Friend and Foe [PDF]
Candida glabrata is mostly good, but, at times, it is an opportunistic pathogen. Previously known as Torulopsis glabrata, it enjoyed a good reputation and was even present in starter cultures. Its haploid genome and lack of mating made it an attractive challenge for yeast genetics studies.

Phosphate in Virulence of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata [PDF]
Candida species are the most commonly isolated invasive human fungal pathogens. A role for phosphate acquisition in their growth, resistance against host immune cells, and tolerance of important antifungal medications is becoming apparent. Phosphorus is an essential element in vital components of the cell, including chromosomes and ribosomes. Producing

Es una levadura saprófita, que forma parte de la microbiota comensal. Inicialmente fue clasificada como Cryptococcus glabratus (1917) y posteriormente reclasificada como Torulopsis glabrata (1938) debido a que sus blastoconidios no producen pseudohifas o hifas verdaderas.

Fluconazole resistance in Candida glabrata [PDF]
We report a case of infection with Candida glabrata in which the organism became resistant to fluconazole and in which pre- and posttreatment isolates were available for comparison. The organism was cross-resistant to ketoconazole and itraconazole, in common with other azole-resistant yeasts.

The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is causing more and more problems in hospitals, as this species shows an intrinsic antifungal drug resistance or rapidly becomes resistant when challenged with antifungals. C. glabrata only grows in the yeast form, so it is lacking a yeast-to-hyphae switch, which is one of the main virulence factors of C ...

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Candida albicans and Candida glabrata are the two most common opportunistic pathogens which are part of the normal flora in humans. Clinical diagnosis of infection by these organisms is still largely based on culturing of these organisms.
