Prevalence Rates, Species Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility of Rare Candida and Related Saccharomycotina Yeasts Causing Bloodstream Infections in 28 Medical Centres. [PDF]
MycosesABSTRACT Background There is a lack of contemporary studies addressing the prevalence rates and antifungal susceptibility of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by rare yeasts (RY) from the Saccharomycotina subphylum. Objectives This 16‐year multicentre study (2007–2023) aimed to assess the prevalence and antifungal susceptibility of rare yeasts ...

A Cross-Sectional Study to Determine <i>Candida</i> spp. Carriage in Libyan Patients With Type 2 Diabetes. [PDF]
Biomed Res IntThe risk for Candida infections in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is three times higher than in the general population. Despite a DM prevalence of 15.8% reported in Libya (2024), the laboratory identification and susceptibility testing of fungal infections in patients with DM are not routinely performed.

Obtaining partial purified xylose reductase from Candida guilliermondii [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2009 The enzymatic bioconversion of xylose into xylitol by xylose reductase (XR) is an alternative for chemical and microbiological processes. The partial purified XR was obtained by using the following three procedures: an agarose column, a membrane reactor or an Amicon Ultra-15 50K Centrifugal Filter device at yields of 40%, 7% and 67%, respectively.
