Candida Albicans and Escherichia Coli Superinfection in Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: A Case Report of A Challenging Presentation and Management

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, life‐threatening infection of the kidney characterized by necrosis and gas formation within the renal parenchyma, collecting system, and perinephric tissue. It commonly occurs in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in those with obstructive nephropathy.

Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to ...

Decoding Urease Inhibition: A Comprehensive Review of Inhibitor Scaffolds

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 2, January 2026.
Representative functional groups known for urease inhibition are reviewed within diverse scaffolds using structure–activity analyses to identify features associated with high inhibitory activity. Urease is a metalloenzyme produced by a wide range of organisms and plays a critical role in nitrogen microbial metabolism by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ...

Advancing Yeast Identification Using High‐Throughput DNA Barcode Data From a Curated Culture Collection

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Yeast identification is essential in fields ranging from microbiology and biotechnology to food science and medicine. While DNA barcoding has become the standard for identifying cultured strains, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionised microbial community profiling, providing deeper insights into yeast communities across ...

In vitro susceptibility to antifungal agents of environmental Cryptococcus spp. isolated in the city of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006
Infections by Cryptococcus strains other than C. neoformans have been detected in immunocompromised patients. Of these strains, three are considered human pathogens: C. albidus, C. laurenttii, and C. uniguttulatus.
