Early Virulence Predictors during the Candida Species–Galleria mellonella Interaction

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Fungal infections are a serious and increasing threat for human health, and one of the most frequent etiological agents for systemic mycoses is Candida spp.

Pseudolaric Acid B Combats Drug‐Resistant Candida albicans Infection via Dual‐Action Mechanisms of Direct Antifungals and Vaginal Microbiota Restoration

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
We propose a novel therapeutic approach against fungal infection: Pseudolaric acid B directly eradicates C. albicans via Erg11 inhibition and uniquely, restores vaginal microecological homeostasis by promoting probiotic lactobacilli, addressing both the pathogen and the dysbiotic environment.

Assessing Nanopore Targeted Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Infections: A Comparative Multidisease Approach

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pulmonary infections remain a significant global health burden, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and patients with chronic respiratory or systemic diseases. Conventional microbiological tests (CMTs), though widely used, often have limited sensitivity and delayed results, especially in polymicrobial or atypical infections.

Illustration of the Distribution of DNA Sequences and Their Frequencies Within the MEP2 Gene Across Ten Candida Species

Инновационная медицина Кубани
Candida species have an impact on human skin health and occasionally can lead to catastrophic conditions, such as skin cancer. The nitrogen supply in growth media regulates MEP2 gene expression. MEP2 protein may regulate the amount of ammonium accessible

Comparison of Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis adhesive properties and pathogenicity

, 2013
Retrospective studies indicate that Candida metapsilosis and Candida orthopsilosis each represents 1-10% of the infections/colonisations attributed to C. parapsilosis by conventional biochemical tests. Little is known on the virulence properties of these

Comparison of four molecular approaches to identify Candida parapsilosis complex species

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
Since the description of Candida orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis in 2005, several methods have been proposed to identify and differentiate these species from C. parapsilosis sensu stricto.

Molecular Characterisation of Fungi Populations in the Chronic Wounds of Filarial Lymphedema Patients in Southern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,
