Bloodstream yeast infections: a 15-month survey [PDF]
A 15-month survey of 412 bloodstream yeast isolates from 54 Belgian hospitals was undertaken. Candida albicans was the most common species (47.3%) followed by C. glabrata (25.7%), C. parapsilosis (8.0%), C. tropicalis (6.8%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

Identification of yeasts present in artisanal yoghurt and traditionally fermented milks consumed in the northern part of Cameroon [PDF]
Bacteria generally ferment milk but, sometimes, yeasts are found in fermented milks. The presence of these yeasts in the microbial community of some fermented milks could be intentional or accidental.

Sucrose-negative variants of Candida tropicalis [PDF]
Four cultures of a Candida sp. that lacked alpha-glucosidase activity were isolated from clinical specimens. Physiological, morphological, and serological characterizations of the yeasts and deoxyribonucleic acid reassociation studies supported their classification as a variant of C. tropicalis.

Rapid and direct quantification of viable Candida species in whole blood by use of immunomagnetic separation and solid-phase cytometry [PDF]
Candida species are a common source of nosocomial bloodstream infections in critically ill patients. The sensitivity of the traditional diagnostic procedure based on blood culture is variable, and it usually takes 2 to 4 days before growth of Candida ...

Spatial inter-centromeric interactions facilitated the emergence of evolutionary new centromeres
Centromeres of Candida albicans form on unique and different DNA sequences but a closely related species, Candida tropicalis, possesses homogenized inverted repeat (HIR)-associated centromeres.

Novel 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives as promising anti-Candida agents endowed with anti-oxidant and chelating properties [PDF]
Pursuing our recent outcomes regarding the antifungal activity of N-substituted 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones, we synthesized thirty-six new derivatives introducing aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and heteroaromatic moieties at N1-hydrazine connected with C2 position

Pseudomembranous candidiasis by Candida tropicalis in an immunocompromised patient: Case Report
Pseudomembranous candidiasis is the most frequent type of infection by Candida spp., and Candida albicans is the most common species to cause it. Candidiasis can be due to other Candida species less frequently, as is the case of Candida tropicalis a ...

Candida tropicalis distribution and drug resistance is correlated with ERG11 and UPC2 expression
Background Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis) is an important opportunistic pathogenic Candida species that can cause nosocomial infection. In this study, we analyzed the distribution and drug susceptibility of C.
