Chick embryo inoculation as a pathogenicity test for Candida species.
The lesions produced by six Candida species on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the developing chick are described and compared. It is suggested that CAM inoculation be used as a pathogenicity test for Candida species.
متن کاملClinical and pathogenicity aspects of Candida species
Candida species normally exist as commensals of the skin and mucosa, but they are also opportunistic pathogens, with the ability to cause a variety of superficial and invasive diseases. Among the several of Candida species, Candida albicans remains the most common fungal isolate, mainly from blood cultures in the diagnostic of nosocomial bloodstream infection. However, the rates of candida infe...
متن کاملA Chick Embryo in-Vitro Model of Knee Morphogenesis
Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...
متن کاملVirulence Traits Contributing to Pathogenicity of Candida Species
The fungus belonging to genus Candida is the only opportunistic mycotic pathogen causing a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mucocutaneous overgrowth to life threatening disseminated infections [1]. This opportunistic fungal pathogen is ubiquitous in nature and can exist as saprophyte and commensal. However, under certain conditions Candida may transit from a commensal to a ...
متن کاملCandida albicans pathogenicity mechanisms
The polymorphic fungus Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microbiome. In most individuals, C. albicans resides as a lifelong, harmless commensal. Under certain circumstances, however, C. albicans can cause infections that range from superficial infections of the skin to life-threatening systemic infections. Several factors and activities have been identified which contribute to th...
