Candida infections of medical devices.
The number of indwelling medical devices is escalating, and an increasing proportion of device-related infections are being caused by Candida spp. Candida spp. produce biofilms on synthetic materials, which facilitates adhesion of the organisms to devices and renders them relatively refractory to medical therapy. Management of device-related Candida infections can be challenging. Removal of the...
متن کاملMedical importance of biofilms in Candida infections.
Many Candida infections involve biofilm formation on implanted devices such as an indwelling catheter, a prosthetic heart valve or a denture. Candida biofilms can be formed in vitro using several model systems. In the simplest of these, organisms are grown on the surfaces of small discs of catheter material or denture acrylic. Biofilms of C. albicans prepared in this way consist of matrix-enclo...
متن کاملCandida biofilms in medical devices: evolving trends.
he study of microorganisms since ages has been associated with their isolation and growth in pure culture and their subsequent identification down to their genes. This channel of study has been actively pursued in various scientific disciplines pertaining to anatomical, physiological and pathological aspects of microbes and the scientific research that is based on them. However, many microbes i...
متن کاملCandida infections among neutropenic patients
Background: Systemic candidiasis is a major complication in neutropenic cancer patients undergoing treatment. Most systemic fungal infections emerge from endogenous microflora so the aim of the present study was to identify Candida species isolated from the different regions of body in neutropenic patients in compare with the control group. Methods: A total of 309 neutropenic can...
متن کاملNosocomial Candida infections
The progress in medicine over the last two decades with introduction of new technologies and therapies, which has allowed the survival of more and more patients suffering from serious diseases, has brought about an increase in the number of hospitalised and immunocompromised subjects. These individuals are highly susceptible to nosocomial fungal infections, especially to candidosis. Candida spp...
