Candida albicans enhances iron uptake to maintain fluconazole resistance

Infection and Immunity
Widespread use of fluconazole has led to the emergence of fluconazole-resistant (FR) Candida spp. causing challenges in clinical treatment. Iron, an essential nutrient, affects the levels of ergosterol (a fluconazole target) in fungal membranes.

An oxindole efflux inhibitor potentiates azoles and impairs virulence in the fungal pathogen Candida auris

Nature Communications, 2020
The fungal pathogen Candida auris is resistant to multiple drugs including the common antifungal fluconazole. Here, Iyer et al. identify a compound that potentiates fluconazole activity against C.

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

In vitro activities of antifungal agents alone and in combination against fluconazole-susceptible and -resistant strains of Candida dubliniensis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
In the present study we used two groups of Candida dubliniensis strains: one containing fluconazole-susceptible clinical isolates and another containing fluconazole-resistant laboratory derivative from the former to examine the changes on susceptibility ...

Fluconazole induces rapid high-frequency MTL homozygosis with microbiological polymorphism in Candida albicans

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2017
Background: Candida albicans, a common fungal pathogen that can cause opportunistic infections, is regarded as an apparently asexual, diploid fungus. A parasexual cycle was previously found between homozygotes with opposite mating type-like loci (MTLa/α)

An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...
