Candida albicans biofilm heterogeneity does not influence denture stomatitis but strongly influences denture cleansing capacity [PDF]

, 2017
Approximately 20  % of the UK population wear some form of denture prosthesis, resulting in denture stomatitis in half of these individuals. Candida albicans is primarily attributed as the causative agent, due to its biofilm -forming ability.

Extracellular aspartic protease SAP2 of Candida albicans yeast cleaves human kininogens and releases proinflammatory peptides, Met-Lys-bradykinin and des-Arg(9)-Met-Lys-bradykinin [PDF]

, 2012
Bradykinin-related peptides, universal mediators of inflammation collectively referred to as the kinins, are often produced in excessive amounts during microbial infections.

Speciation and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Candida Isolated from Various Clinical Specimens at a Tertiary Care Centre: A Cross-sectional Study

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine
Introduction: Candida species are a normal commensal flora of the human body, colonising the skin, mucous membranes and gastrointestinal tract. However, they may also be associated with superficial and deep-seated fungal infections.
