A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris
A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...

A purine permease inCandida glabrata [PDF]
Competition experiments revealed that adenine and guanine were transported by a purine permease in both Candida glabrata 4 and a C. glabrata 4 cytosine permease negative mutant. The C. glabrata 4 cytosine permease negative mutant was isolated using 5-fluorocytosine selection.

Rapid identification of Candida glabrata in Candida bloodstream infections [PDF]
Candida species are the fourth most common cause of bloodstream infection (BSI) in the hospitalized patient. Candida glabrata is the most common non-Candida albicans Candida species in England and Wales with an attributed mortality of 48 %. C.

Antifungal activity of the non cytotoxic human peptide hepcidin 20 against fluconazole resistant Candida glabrata in human vaginal fluid [PDF]
Vaginal infections due to Candida glabrata are difficult to eradicate, due to the scarce susceptibility to azoles of this species. Previous studies have shown that the human cationic peptide hepcidin 20 (Hep-20) exerts fungicidal activity in sodium ...

Uptake of pyrimidines and their derivatives into Candida glabrata and Candida albicans [PDF]
The uptake of pyrimidines and their derivatives into Candida glabrata and Candida albicans was measured using a novel technique in which the cells were rapidly separated from their suspending medium by centrifugation through a layer of an inert oil. The uptake of [14C]cytosine was linear for 30 s for all concentrations of pyrimidine tested.

Genetic Transformation of Candida glabrata by Electroporation [PDF]
Here, we report a method for the transformation by electroporation of the human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata (C. glabrata). The protocol can be used for transformations in single well or in 96-well microtiter plates. It has been extensively used to generate a genome-scale gene deletion library using the C.

Unexpected effects of azole transporter inhibitors on antifungal susceptibility in Candida glabrata and other pathogenic Candida species. [PDF]
The pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata is often resistant to azole antifungal agents. Drug efflux through azole transporters, such as Cdr1 and Cdr2, is a key mechanism of azole resistance and these genes are under the control of the transcription factor ...

Phenotypic switching and filamentation in Candida glabrata [PDF]
Candida glabrata switches spontaneously, reversibly and at high frequency among the following four phenotypes distinguishable by graded colony colouration on CuSO(4)-containing agar: white (Wh), light brown (LB), dark brown (DB) and very dark brown (vDB). These phenotypes also differ in a graded fashion in the level of expression of the metallothionein
