Isolation of Candida tropicalis auxotrophic mutants [PDF]
An enrichment scheme using nystatin was designed for the isolation of auxotrophic mutants from the diploid-alkane-utilizing yeast Candida tropicalis. A collection of 194 auxotrophs representing 7 phenotypes was isolated. One class of mutants was identified as having a defect in histidinol dehydrogenase activity and a second class of mutants was ...

Voice prosthetic biofilm formation and Candida morphogenic conversions in absence and presence of different bacterial strains and species on silicone-rubber. [PDF]
Morphogenic conversion of Candida from a yeast to hyphal morphology plays a pivotal role in the pathogenicity of Candida species. Both Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis, in combination with a variety of different bacterial strains and species ...

Polymyxin Sensitivity Of Candida Tropicalis [PDF]
Summary Polymyxin B, polymyxin E, and colistin sulphomethate sodium are fungicidal in vitro for Candida tropicalis. Four hundred random isolates of Candida from two hospital laboratories were tested for sensitivity to colistin: 25 (6.2 per cent.) were sensitive, and 22 of these were C. tropicalis.

Candida tropicalis causing Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis
The incidence of endocarditis produced by the so-called "opportunists" as a complication of prosthetic valve surgery is progressively increasing in frequency and gradually transforming the clinical picture habitually associated with this disease. Candida endocarditis is an unusual but severe complication caused by Candida albicans or other fungal ...
