Fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans vulvovaginitis.
OBJECTIVE As a result of high recurrence rates of Candida albicans vaginitis, successful suppressive fluconazole is widely used, and drug resistance is considered rare. We report increased occurrence of secondary fluconazole resistance, analysis of risk factors thereof, and describe management of fluconazole-refractory vaginitis. METHODS Patients referred to the Vaginitis Clinic at Wayne Stat...
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 کاملVirulence factors of non-Candida albicans Candida species
Candidosis caused by non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species have been increased in recent years, namely due Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis. Furthermore, candidosis is facilitated by a number of virulence factors, such as adherence to medical devices and/or host cells, biofilm formation and secretion of enzymes. Thus, the main goal of this study was to charact...
