Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis: comparison of biofilm formation in terms of biomass and activity.
Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis are two species responsible for oral candidiasis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Microbial infection is preceded by adherence and biofilm formation. Biofilm formation represents the most common form of C. albicans in the oral cavity and is considered to be one of the most important virulence factors. In this study, the biofilm formation ability of...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Candida albicans and its closely related yeasts Candida dubliniensis and Candida africana.
We performed a molecular study to determine the occurrence of Candida albicans, Candida africana, and Candida dubliniensis in different clinical samples. The study provides new insights into the epidemiology of candidiasis in hospitalized patients in three hospitals in southern Italy. It also reports the first detailed epidemiological data concerning the occurrence of C. africana in clinical sa...
متن کاملDifferences in extracellular enzymatic activity between Candida dubliniensis and Candida albicans isolates.
Twenty-six Candida dubliniensis and 27 Candida albicans oral strains isolated from patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were tested for germ tube production and 21 extracellular enzymatic activities. Assessment of the enzymatic profile was performed by using the API-ZYM commercial kit system (bioMerieux, France), which tests 19 different enzymes. Protease activity was exp...
متن کاملCharacterization of transmission of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. muris through immunocompetent BALB/c mice.
By using mouse models, it has been shown that Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. muris can be transmitted to immunocompetent mice that are exposed to immunosuppressed mice with active P. carinii pneumonia. We sought to determine whether P. carinii f. sp. muris could be transmitted between normal mice. The rationale for these experiments was to demonstrate whether the normal host could serve as the res...
متن کاملOlive leaf extract activity against Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis - the in vitro viability study.
Olive leaf extract is characterized by a high content of polyphenols (oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and their derivatives), which is associated with its therapeutic properties. The objective of the present research was to evaluate the antifungal activity of olive leaf extract against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and C. dubliniensis CBS 7987 strains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the ex...
