Arachidonic acid increases antifungal susceptibility of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis.
OBJECTIVES During Candida albicans infection, arachidonic acid (AA) is released from phospholipids of infected host cell membranes and used by C. albicans as the sole carbon source and for production of eicosanoids. AA can be incorporated into the phospholipids of yeasts, influencing the saturation level and fluidity of yeast cell membranes. It is suggested that the effectiveness of polyene (e....
متن کاملCandida albicans and Candida dubliniensis respond differently to echinocandin antifungal agents in vitro.
Candida dubliniensis isolates tested for susceptibility to anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin commonly showed artifactual regrowth and/or trailing effects with MIC tests done under conditions involving a high initial yeast concentration. The artifacts were less common with Candida albicans and seldom seen for either species under Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute method M27-A ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to erythrosine- and LED-mediated photodynamic therapy.
The effect of erythrosine- and LED-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on planktonic cultures and biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis was evaluated. Planktonic cultures of standardized suspensions (10(6)cells/mL) of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis were treated with erythrosine concentrations of 0.39-200 μM and LEDs in a 96-well microtiter plate. Biofilms formed by C. albicans ...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to Photodynamic Therapy Using Four Dyes as the Photosensitizer
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Oral candidiasis is the most common opportunistic infection affecting the human oral cavity. Photodynamic therapy, as one of its proposed treatment modalities, needs a distinct dye for achieving the best effect. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate photosensitization effects of four distinct dyes on standard suspension of Candida albicans (C. albicans) an...
متن کاملIncidence and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida Albicans Infections
INTRODUCTION. Candida albicans is the most common inhabitant of the skin, mouth, vagina and gastro intestinal tract of human beings. One of the major reasons for the increase in Candida infection is the development of its resistant strains due to drugs used in the treatment of candidiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 4027 samples collected from patients in various wards of the Emergency Co...
