Adhesion of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to acrylic and hydroxyapatite
The aim of this work was to compare the ability of strains of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to adhere to acrylic and hydroxyapatite (HAP). In order to interpret the adhesion results, the surface properties of cells and materials were determined. Surface tension components (polar and apolar) and hydrophobicity were calculated through contact angle measurement and the elemental compos...
متن کاملMulti-species biofilm of Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans Candida species on acrylic substrate
OBJECTIVE In polymicrobial biofilms bacteria extensively interact with Candida species, but the interaction among the different species of the Candida is yet to be completely evaluated. In the present study, the difference in biofilm formation ability of clinical isolates of four species of Candida in both single-species and multi-species combinations on the surface of dental acrylic resin stri...
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 کاملLymphocyte adhesion to Candida albicans.
Adherence of lymphocytes to the fungus is the first step in the direct lymphocyte-mediated antifungal effect against Candida albicans. In this study we identified macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) (CD11b/CD18, alpha(M)/beta(2)) as the lymphocyte surface structure responsible for the adhesion of activated lymphocytes to the hyphal form of the fungus. Antibodies specific for epitopes of the alpha-subu...
متن کاملThe involvement of physico-chemical interactions in the adhesion of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to epithelial cells.
Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are two pathogenic yeasts particularly hazardous to immunocompromised patients. Adhesion of yeast cells to epithelium is considered one of the virulence factors and its study is of major importance. The main aim of this study was the comparison of the influence of physico-chemical properties on the adhesion of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis to epitheli...
