CO(2) acts as a signalling molecule in populations of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. [PDF]
, 2010 When colonising host-niches or non-animated medical devices, individual cells of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans expand into significant biomasses. Here we show that within such biomasses, fungal metabolically generated CO(2) acts as a communication

Rapid identification of Candida glabrata in Candida bloodstream infections [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2007 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]
, 2013 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]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1990 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.

Functional Characterization of the Small Heat Shock Protein Hsp12p from Candida albicans [PDF]
, 2012 Hsp12p is considered to be a small heat shock protein and conserved among fungal species. To investigate the expression of this heat shock protein in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans we developed an anti-CaHsp12p antibody.

Molecular Typing of Candida glabrata
Mycopathologia, 2019 The yeast Candida glabrata has emerged, second only to Candida albicans, to be one of the most frequently isolated fungi in clinical specimen from human. Its frequent resistance towards azole antifungal drugs and the high capacity to form biofilms on indwelling catheters of individual isolates render it an often difficult to treat pathogen.

Mechanisms of azole resistance in clinical isolates of Candida glabrata collected during a hospital survey of antifungal resistance. [PDF]
, 2005 The increasing use of azole antifungals for the treatment of mucosal and systemic Candida glabrata infections has resulted in the selection and/or emergence of resistant strains.

Unexpected effects of azole transporter inhibitors on antifungal susceptibility in Candida glabrata and other pathogenic Candida species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 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 ...
