Candida Species

2012
Candida are oval yeast that are 4 to 6 μ‎m in diameter. They reproduce by budding, usually producing pseudohyphae (budding yeast without full detachment of daughter cell). Identification is usually based on morphology and sugar assimilation.

Five new Candida species

Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1968
The following five new yeast species are described:Candida beechii isolated from cider,C. blankii isolated from a mink,C. cacaoi isolated from fermenting cacao,C. freyschussii isolated from wood pulp andC. melibiosica isolated from sputum.

Virulence Factors in Candida species

Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2020
:Fungal diseases are severe and have very high morbidity as well as up to 60% mortality for patients diagnosed with invasive fungal infection. In this review, in vitro and in vivo studies provided us with the insight into the role of Candida virulence factors that mediate their success as pathogens, such as: membrane and cell wall (CW) barriers ...

DNA Fingerprinting Candida Species

2009
It is sometimes necessary to assess the genetic relatedness of isolates to identify the origin of an infection. In addition, evidence is accumulating that drug resistance can be associated with strains from a particular clade and that strains can exhibit anatomical specificity.

Candida species and Candida albicans morphotypes in erythematous candidiasis

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1992
A group of full-denture-wearing patients with erythematous candidiasis was matched by age and sex with a group of healthy, full-denture-wearing persons who served as controls. In the group with erythematous candidiasis, clinical symptoms and signs of the disease were recorded. Denture hygiene and tobacco use were noted in both groups. Epithelial smears

Candida onychomycosis—an evaluation of the role of Candida species in nail disease

British Journal of Dermatology, 1988
Nail infections caused by Candida species are normally associated with chronic paronychia or chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMCC). However, the role of Candida in the pathogenesis of other primary nail dystrophies has been questioned in view of their response to antifungal therapy alone.

Ecology and Epidemiology of Candida Species

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1. Abt. Originale. A, Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Infektionskrankheiten und Parasitologie, 1984
Exogenous and endogenous sources of pathogenic Candida species and the likely routes of their intra- and inter-human transmission are reviewed. Study of C. albicans strain types from clinical isolates of the fungus has shown that, for each person who harbours C.

Pulmonary disease caused by Candida species

The American Journal of Medicine, 1977
Candida species are often found in sputum specimens. Their role as a possible cause of pulmonary disease is a frequent consideration, particularly in patients receiving immunosuppressive or long-standing antimicrobial therapy. At Memorial Hospital and New York Hospital, 30 patients with histologic evidence of Candida pulmonary infection were identified

Adherence of Candida Species to Intravenous Catheters

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1983
Legend. Adherence in vitro of Candida albicans (CA) and Candida tropicalis (CT) to sections (length, 4 cm) of 16-gauge catheters made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or Teflonb (Travenol Laboratories, Deerfield, Ill). Yeast cells were labeled with [14C]glucose, washed, and suspended in Hanks' balanced salt solution at a concentration of 107 cfu/ml ...

In vitro proteinase production by Candida species

Mycopathologia, 1991
A total of 290 Candida isolates from patients were investigated for in vitro proteinase production. Overall, sixty percent of these strains were found to be proteinase producers. Of the C. albicans strains, 81.4% of the significant isolates in contrast to 19.7% of nonsignificant isolates were proteinase producers, the difference being statistically ...
