A murine model of Candida glabrata vaginitis.
Vaginal Candida glabrata infections have increased significantly in recent years and are particularly common in women with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Efforts to understand the pathogenesis and treatment of this infection have been hindered by the lack of experimental animal models. Before onset of hyperglycemia, nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice inoculated intravaginally with clinical C. glabra...
متن کاملA Murine Model of Candida glabrata Vaginitis Shows No Evidence of an Inflammatory Immunopathogenic Response
Candida glabrata is the second most common organism isolated from women with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), particularly in women with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. However, mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of C. glabrata-associated VVC are unknown and have not been studied at any depth in animal models. The objective of this study was to evaluate host responses to infection following...
متن کاملColony variation in Candida glabrata isolates from patients with vaginitis.
The ability of Candida glabrata to switch between different colony phenotypes on a Sabouraud's-chloramphenicol agar supplemented with phloxine B was assessed in 14 C. glabrata isolates. Three phenotypes (pale pink smooth, dark pink smooth and fuchsia petite) were observed in vitro and two of them (pale pink smooth and dark pink smooth) in fresh clinical isolates plated directly from vaginal spe...
متن کاملCandida vaginitis.
Candida vaginitis Other than the dermatophytic mycoses, Candida vaginitis is the most common fungal disease in the United Kingdom, described by Morton and Rashid (1977) as a near epidemic. Almost all the known facts about it are enumerative or descriptive and little is known of the factors affecting the pathogenesis, recrudescence, or recurrence of the mycosis. The facts do not disclose the psy...
متن کاملEfficacy of ravuconazole in a murine model of vaginitis by Candida albicans.
BACKGROUND The incidence of vulvovaginal candidiasis, a common infection among healthy women primarily caused by the yeast Candida albicans, has increased significantly in recent years. AIMS The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of ravuconazole (RVC) and fluconazole (FLC) in the treatment of experimental C. albicans vaginitis. METHODS Forty isolates of C. albicans were scree...
