BACKGROUND
The morphogenetic conversion between yeast and hyphal growth forms appears to be crucial in the pathogenesis of invasive candidiasis, and can be regulated by environmental signals such as extracellular pH.
OBJECTIVE
To characterise the epitope recognised by monoclonal antibody 1H4, and to
BACKGROUND
Mucocutaneous candidiasis (almost endogenous) is one of the most common manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The aim of this study was the investigation of colonization patterns of Candida species, particularly C. dubliniensis, among mucosal sites of
Candida albicans is a commensal dimorphic yeast of the digestive tract that causes hematogenously disseminated infections in immunocompromised individuals. Endogenous invasive candidiasis develops from C. albicans adhering to the intestinal epithelium. Adherence is mediated by the cell wall surface,
The incidence of invasive candidiasis has increased dramatically over the last decades due to a larger number of patients at risk. The diagnosis remains difficult as the clinical presentation is not specific and the biological diagnosis usually takes several days to become positive. We propose in
OBJECTIVE
To describe a prospective laboratory-based surveillance of Candida species that were collected from different anatomical sites of patients admitted to the University of Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia, from the year 2000 to 2013.
METHODS
Conventional (culture, microscopic examination and
This study was carried out from October 2003 to March 2007 to investigated susceptibility patterns ot March 2007 to antifungals of Candida strains isolated from 410 immunocompromised patients in Shiraz, Islamic Republic of Iran. Patients were checked for systemic candidiasis. Fungal colonization was
Candida albicans is a causative agent in mycoses of the skin, oral cavity, and gastrointestinal tract. Identification of receptors, and their respective ligands, that are engaged by immune cells when in contact with C. albicans is crucial for understanding inflammatory responses leading to invasive
The release of extracellular vesicles (EV) by fungal organisms is considered an alternative transport mechanism to trans-cell wall passage of macromolecules. Previous studies have revealed the presence of EV in culture supernatants from fungal pathogens, such as Cryptococcus neoformans, Histoplasma
