Identification of uncommon oral yeasts from cancer patients by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Opportunistic infections due to Candida species occur frequently in cancer patients because of their inherent immunosuppression. The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiology of yeast species from the oral cavity of patients

“Rhetoric to Reality”- Efficacy of Punica Granatum Peel Extract on Oral Candidiasis: An In vitro Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: Global usage of synthetic drugs inadvertently has resulted in deleterious effects and antimicrobial resistance. Phytoextarcts with therapeutic properties appear to be appropriate substitutes for synthetic drugs.

MiR‐146a‐5p Suppresses M1 Polarization of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages via IRAK1/NF‐κB Signaling in Colorectal Polyps

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
MiR‐146a‐5p is downregulated in colorectal polyps, leading to IRAK1 upregulation and NF‐κB activation, which promotes M1 macrophage polarization and inflammation. Overexpression of miR‐146a‐5p suppresses IRAK1/NF‐κB signaling, reduces M1 polarization, and alleviates inflammatory responses.

Inhibitory effects of chlorpromazine on Candida species [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1985
Chlorpromazine was tested for antifungal activity by using Candida albicans and standard assays. The MIC of chlorpromazine was 35 micrograms/ml; the minimal fungicidal concentration was also 35 micrograms/ml. The minimal effective concentration was 2.2 to 3.5 micrograms/ml (using assays based on quantitative cultures and growth).

Asking the 5 W's for designing next‐generation bioprocessing

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Biotechnology is expanding beyond traditional, centralized fermentation and toward next‐generation bioprocessing paradigms that emphasize flexible deployment outside the laboratory with application‐specific performance. However, many bioprocesses fail to translate beyond proof‐of‐concept into industrially viable systems because early design ...

Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Genotypic Patterns of Secreted Aspartyl Proteinase Gene in Various Candida Species Isolated from Antenatal Women with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a commonly found disease in antenatal women caused by Candida species. The usual presentations are persistent curdy white vaginal discharge with itching, bad odour, irritation, pain in the lower abdomen and local ...

Non-albicans Candida Infection: An Emerging Threat

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2014
The very nature of infectious diseases has undergone profound changes in the past few decades. Fungi once considered as nonpathogenic or less virulent are now recognized as a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised and severely ill ...
