Candida albicans skin abscesses.
Two neonates who developed Candida albicans skin abscesses are described. One developed disseminated infection. In the newborn abscesses cannot be assumed to be of bacterial origin.
متن کاملSkin Immunity to Candida albicans.
Candida albicans is a dimorphic commensal fungus that colonizes healthy human skin, mucosa, and the reproductive tract. C. albicans is also a predominantly opportunistic fungal pathogen, leading to disease manifestations such as disseminated candidiasis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). The differing host susceptibilities for the sites of C. albicans infection have revealed tissue co...
متن کاملCandida albicans
The secreted aspartyl proteinases of Candida albicans (products of the SAP genes) are thought to contribute to virulence through their effects on Candida adherence, invasion, and pathogenicity. From a single strain of C. albicans (WO-1) which expresses a phenotypic switching system, three secreted aspartyl proteinases have been identified as determined by molecular weight and N-terminal sequenc...

Figure 1. Fluorescent protein fusions in Candida albicans. Useful fluorescent markers for tracking subcellular structures in C. albicans include: DAPI (DNA); Nop1-GFP (green fluorescent protein, localizing to the nucleolus); Hhf1-GFP (chromatin); Tub2-GFP (microtubules, green); and Tub4-mCherry fluorescent protein (spindle pole bodies, red).

متن کامل[Candida albicans].
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. Its proliferation in human hosts is believed to be controlled by immunologic mechanisms. The plasma membrane of the fungus posseses an H+-ATPase (PM-ATPase) which actively extrudes protons to generate an electrochemical gradient which is used in co-transport of nutrients. This ATPase is associated with the growth, dimorphism and pathogenicity of th...
