Candida species biofilm and Candida albicans ALS3 polymorphisms in clinical isolates
Over the last decades, there have been important changes in the epidemiology of Candida infections. In recent years, Candida species have emerged as important causes of invasive infections mainly among immunocompromised patients. This study analyzed Candida spp. isolates and compared the frequency and biofilm production of different species among the different sources of isolation: blood, urine...
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 کاملVariation in biofilm formation among blood and oral isolates of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis.
INTRODUCTION Biofilm production is considered a potential virulence factor of some Candida species. For this reason, an understanding of biofilm behavior of Candida albicans and its closely related species Candida dubliniensis is key to the development of effective preventive measures for invasive and oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to compare the capacity of biofilm production by b...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Candida Species in Clinical Isolates
Candida exists as a normal flora on skin and mucosa. The prevalence of Candida-induced infections specially mucosal and vaginal infections have been raised in the world in last decade due to increase in predisposing factors. C.albicans is the major etiological agent of candidiasis, but infections due to other species have been increasing. The aim of this study was to determine Candida species b...
متن کاملCandida albicans biofilm-defective mutants.
Biofilm formation plays a key role in the life cycles and subsistence of many microorganisms. For the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, biofilm development is arguably a virulence trait, because medical implants that serve as biofilm substrates are significant risk factors for infection. The development of C. albicans biofilms in vitro proceeds through an early phase, in which yeast cells...
