Isoenzyme biotypes of Candida species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989
Isoenzyme profiles were obtained following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude extracts of Candida albicans and C. tropicalis. The two species were separated by distinct isoenzyme patterns. Within each species, variations were found for several isoenzymes. This allowed the development of a method for biotyping these fungi. Isoenzyme patterns of

Interaction of Candida Species with the Skin [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2017
The human skin is commonly colonized by diverse fungal species. Some Candida species, especially C. albicans, do not only reside on the skin surface as commensals, but also cause infections by growing into the colonized tissue. However, defense mechanisms at the skin barrier level are very efficient, involving residential non-immune and immune cells as

Distribution of Candida species among HIV-positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis in Accra, Ghana

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2013
Introduction: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common occurrence in the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression. Changes in the clinical severity of oropharyngeal candidiasis and type of Candida species profile may be a reflection

Histone Deacetylases and Their Inhibition in Candida Species [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Fungi are generally benign members of the human mucosal flora or live as saprophytes in the environment. However, they can become pathogenic, leading to invasive and life threatening infections in vulnerable patients. These invasive fungal infections are regarded as a major public health problem on a similar scale to tuberculosis or malaria.

Candida Species Biofilms’ Antifungal Resistance [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Candida infections (candidiasis) are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection on humans and, as such, a major public health problem. In recent decades, candidiasis has been associated to Candida species other than Candida albicans. Moreover, biofilms have been considered the most prevalent growth form of Candida cells and a strong causative ...

In Vitro Biofilm Activity of Non-Candida albicans Candida Species [PDF]

Current Microbiology, 2010
Candidosis has been attributed to C. albicans; however, infections caused by non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species are increasingly being recognised. The ability of Candida to grow as a biofilm is an important feature that promotes both infection and persistence in the host.
