Mixed bloodstream infections involving bacteria and Candida spp. [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2013
Polymicrobial bloodstream infection (BSI) is an imprecisely defined entity purportedly associated with a worse outcome than monomicrobial BSI. This study examines trends in BSI episodes caused by bacteria and Candida spp. (mixed-BSI) in a large teaching hospital.All episodes of BSI from January 2000 to December 2010 were reviewed.

Decoding the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases—Mechanism, Triggers, and Nanotherapeutics: A Review

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,

Process development priorities for scaling up direct microbial conversion of sugars into value‐added biochemicals

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The study identified process development priorities toward the feasible production of five value‐added biochemicals in a sugarcane biorefinery based on achievable bioconversion performances. Multiple process scenarios using A‐molasses as feedstock were simulated in Aspen Plus® via direct microbial conversions.

Candida and Porphyromonas gingivalis: the effect on wound closure in vitro

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
Microorganisms play a role in oral mucositis after cancer therapy. The current study explored the hypothesis that Candida spp. alone and together with Porphyromonas gingivalis cause delayed healing of oral ulcerations due to the inhibition of wound ...

Uncommon Candida Species Fungemia among Cancer Patients, Houston, Texas, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Many uncommon Candida species that cause bloodstream infections (BSIs) are not well-characterized. We investigated the epidemiology, antifungal use, susceptibility patterns, and factors associated with all-cause death among cancer patients in whom ...

Fungicidal activity of miconazole against Candida spp. biofilms [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2010
Although azole antifungals are considered to be fungistatic, miconazole has fungicidal activity against planktonic Candida albicans cells, presumably associated with the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Only few data are available concerning the effect of miconazole against sessile C. albicans cells.

Influence of Zn2+ and Oxygen Supply on Malic Acid Production and Growth of Aspergillus oryzae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malic acid is a valuable platform chemical traditionally derived from fossil‐based resources. Microbial cultivation with Aspergillus oryzae offers a sustainable alternative based on renewable feedstocks. In this study, a well‐established minimal medium for malic acid production, commonly used in previous research to ensure reproducibility, was

Oral Myco- and Bacteriobiota and Yeast Infections in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients

Microorganisms, 2023
Critically ill COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit are at risk of developing invasive candidiasis. In this study we aimed to (1) characterize oral cultivable mycobiota of mechanically ventilated adult COVID-19 ...
