Comparison of the accuracy of two conventional phenotypic methods and two MALDI-TOF MS systems with that of DNA sequencing analysis for correctly identifying clinically encountered yeasts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We assessed the accuracy of species-level identification of two commercially available matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems (Bruker Biotyper and Vitek MS) and two conventional phenotypic ...

Susceptibility of Candida glabrata biofilms to echinocandins: alterations in the matrix composition [PDF]

, 2018
Candidiases are the most recurrent fungal infections, especially among immunosuppressed patients. Although Candida albicans is still the most widespread isolated species, non-Candida albicans Candida species have been increasing.

Naphthyl‐Based Chalcone Derivatives: A Multifaceted Player in Medicinal Chemistry

ChemistrySelect, Volume 9, Issue 19, May 21, 2024.
This review insights the pharmacological activity of naphthyl substituted chalcone derivatives. The anticancer and antibacterial activities were more explored than other activities. The presence of methoxy and naphthyl moiety enhanced the anticancer activity. The antibacterial activity was increased by electron withdrawing groups.

Vasculitis and Anaphylactoid Shock Induced in Mice by Cell Wall Extract of the Fungus Candida metapsilosis

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2014
To investigate whether cell wall mannan from Candida metapsilosis induces vasculitis similar to that in Kawasaki syndrome and anaphylactoid shock in mice, we examined the pathogenic effects of C. metapsilosis cell wall extracts. Our results show that intraperitoneal injection of cell wall extracts induced severe coronary arteritis, and intravenous ...

Epidemiology, clinical characteristics, outcome and biofilm forming properties in candidaemia: A single‐centre retrospective 4‐year analysis from Hungary

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Background Candidaemia is a life‐threatening disease that is associated with high mortality, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). The number of comprehensive studies dealing with the epidemiologic characteristics of biofilm‐related properties is limited.

Diagnosis and Treatment Challenges of Candida guilliermondii in Immunocompromised Patients: A Case Study in a Neutropenic AML Patient

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Although fungal infections causing intestinal perforation and necrosis are rare, they can be particularly dangerous in immunosuppressed patients, often leading to increased mortality rates and poor prognoses. Candida species are typically surface fungi, but in patients with compromised immune systems, they can invade the small intestine and cause ...

Emerging Threats in Antifungal-Resistant Fungal Pathogens. [PDF]

, 2016
The use of antifungal drugs in the therapy of fungal diseases can lead to the development of antifungal resistance. Resistance has been described for virtually all antifungal agents in diverse pathogens, including Candida and Aspergillus species.

Species Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility of Yeasts Isolated from Ear Specimens

Annals of Clinical Microbiology, 2019
Background: Candida auris was first isolated from the ears of Japanese and Korean patients. However, the prevalence of yeast isolates from ear cultures and their antifungal susceptibility profiles in these nations remain unclear.

Differentiation of Candida parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis by specific PCR amplification of the RPS0 intron

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2011
Although Candida parapsilosis is the most prevalent among the 3 species of the *psilosis group, studies applying DNA-based diagnostic techniques with isolates previously identified as C. parapsilosis have revealed that both C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis account for 0-10% of all these isolates, depending on the geographical area.
