Differential Sensitivity of the Species of Candida parapsilosis Sensu Lato Complex Against Statins [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2013
Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis are human fungal pathogens with clinical importance. The recently reclassified three closely related species have significant variation in virulence, clinical prevalence and susceptibility characteristics to different antifungal compounds.

Antifungal Effect and Inhibition of the Virulence Mechanism of D-Limonene against Candida parapsilosis

Molecules, 2022
Yeasts from the Candida parapsilosis complex are clinically relevant due to their high virulence and pathogenicity potential, such as adherence to epithelial cells and emission of filamentous structures, as well as their low susceptibility to antifungals.

Reverse line blot hybridization assay for identification of medically important fungi from culture and clinical specimens [PDF]

, 2007
We evaluated a combined panfungal PCR-reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization assay based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 region polymorphisms to identify 159 Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus isolates (22 species).

Genetic diversity of medically important and emerging Candida species causing invasive infection [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Genetic variation in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been studied among fungi. However, the numbers of ITS sequence polymorphisms in the various Candida species and their associations with sources of ...

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]

, 2019
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

Characterization of beta-tubulin DNA sequences within Candida parapsilosis complex

Current Medical Mycology, 2018
Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis is a common cause of candidemia in children and patients with onco-hematological diseases, septic arthritis, peritonitis, vaginitis, and nail and skin infections. Regarding this, the present study was condcuted to evaluate intra- and inter-species variation within beta-tubulin DNA sequence of C. parapsilosis

Combinatorial recognition of a complex telomere repeat sequence by the Candida parapsilosis Cdc13AB heterodimer [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2015
The telomere repeat units of Candida species are substantially longer and more complex than those in other organisms, raising interesting questions concerning the recognition mechanisms of telomere-binding proteins. Herein we characterized the properties of Candida parapsilosis Cdc13A and Cdc13B, two paralogs that are responsible for binding and ...

Influence of saliva and mucin on the adhesion of Candida oral clinical isolates [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: This research work intends to clarify the role of artificial saliva, in particularly the role of mucin, a salivary protein, on the surface properties and adhesion ability of Candida spp. oral clinical isolates to abiotic surfaces.
