Vasculitis and anaphylactoid shock in mice induced by the polysaccharide fraction secreted into culture supernatants by the fungus Candida metapsilosis [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, 2011
The biological effects of Candida metapsilosis water-soluble fraction (CMWS), prepared using a completely synthesized medium, were examined to determine whether CMWS induces vasculitis similar to that seen in Kawasaki disease, and anaphylactoid shock, in mice.

First isolation of Candida metapsilosis in Kuwait, an emerging global opportunistic pathogen

Journal de Mycologie Médicale, 2016
Invasive infections due to uncommon and rare yeast species are increasing worldwide in prevalence and are associated with high mortality rates. Here, we describe the first isolation and characterization of Candida metapsilosis cultured from the blood sample of a 10-year-old Saudi girl, who suffered from a neurodegenerative disorder, in Kuwait.

Prevalence and Distribution Profiles of Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis Responsible for Superficial Candidiasis in a Chinese University Hospital

Mycopathologia, 2011
The Candida parapsilosis complex consists of C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis. Recently, many studies described the prevalence of this species complex mainly in invasive candidiasis. Additionally, data showed that these three species are different in virulence and in vitro drug susceptibility.

In vitro efficacy of 5 antifungal agents against Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis as determined by time–kill methodology

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2009
Killing activity of amphotericin B, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and 5-fluorocytosine was determined against 6 Candida parapsilosis, 3 Candida orthopsilosis, and 4 Candida metapsilosis clinical isolates. After 24 h, 1 of 6 C. parapsilosis, 1 of 3 C. orthopsilosis, and 3 of 4 C. metapsilosis isolates were killed at 1 to 4 microg/mL (1-8x MIC)

Geographic Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility of the Newly Described Species Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis in Comparison to the Closely Related Species Candida parapsilosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2008
Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are recently described species, having previously been grouped with the more prevalent species Candida parapsilosis. Current literature contains very little data pertaining to the distributions and antifungal susceptibilities of these Candida species.

A case of Candida metapsilosis conjunctivitis in a neonate admitted in cardiac heart intensive care unit.

2022
Nowadays apparently harmless Candida species especially rare ones, cause a rising number of infections. We report the first case of conjunctivitis due to Candida metapsilosis obtained from the eye discharge of 40-day-old girl with congenital heart disease admitted in the ICU. The isolate was resistant to fluconazole, anidulafungin and micafungin.

Étude de formation de biofilm chez des souches cliniques de Candida parapsilosis, Candida metapsilosis et Candida orthopsilosis

Journal de Mycologie Médicale, 2016
Introduction et objectifs Un biofilm a Candida (C.) est constitue d’un reseau dense de levures adherentes. Ce reseau est recouvert d’une matrice extracellulaire et arbore une structure tridimensionnelle. Les biofilms sont l’une des plus importants facteurs de virulences chez le complexe parapsilosis , qui lui conferent une resistance fortement ...

Separation of phenotypically indistinguishable Candida species, C. orthopsilosis, C. metapsilosis and C. parapsilosis, by capillary electromigration techniques

Journal of Chromatography A, 2011
At the current state of laboratory diagnostics, methods for fast identification of phenotypically indistinguishable species are difficult or inaccurate. An example is represented by Candida parapsilosis, which is the second most common yeast species isolated from bloodstream infections. C.

Comparison of In Vitro and Vivo Efficacy of Caspofungin Against Candida parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, C. metapsilosis and C. albicans

Mycopathologia, 2012
Caspofungin activity was determined in vitro and in vivo against three Candida orthopsilosis, three C. metapsilosis, two C. parapsilosis sensu stricto and two C. albicans isolates. MIC values and killing activity were determined in RPMI-1640 plus 50 % human serum.

Use of (1→3)-β-D-glucan Monitoring to Clear Candida metapsilosis Ventriculitis and Shunt Infection

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
Background: Candida infections of the central nervous system (CNS) with intracranial shunts are difficult to treat. Cultures of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may lack sensitivity in detecting deep cerebral candidiasis.
