Citronellal-induced disruption of membrane homeostasis in Candida albicans and attenuation of its virulence attributes.
INTRODUCTION There is an increasing burden of multidrug resistance. As a result, deciphering the mechanisms of action of natural compounds with antifungal activity has gained considerable prominence. We aimed to elucidate the probable mechanism of action of citronellal, a monoterpenoid found in the essential oil extracted from Cymbopogon plants, against Candida albicans. METHODS Drug suscepti...
متن کاملAttenuation of Candida albicans virulence with focus on disruption of its vacuole functions
The objective of the present review is to discuss if the yeast vacuole can be used as a target for attenuation of Candida albicans virulence. Literature searches were made electronically using predetermined inclusion criteria. The main searches were made through a systematic strategy in PubMed and authoritative journals in microbiology. It appeared that C. albicans virulence may be reduced by i...
متن کاملAttenuation of virulence and changes in morphology in Candida albicans by disruption of the N-acetylglucosamine catabolic pathway.
A Candida albicans mutant with mutations in the N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) catabolic pathway gene cluster, including the GlcNAc-6-phosphate deacetylase (DAC1), glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase (NAG1), and GlcNAc kinase (HXK1) genes, was not able to grow on amino sugars, exhibited highly attenuated virulence in a murine systemic candidiasis model, and was less adherent to human buccal epithel...
متن کاملCandida albicans specializations for iron homeostasis: from commensalism to virulence.
Candida albicans is a fungal commensal-pathogen that persistently associates with its mammalian hosts. Between the commensal and pathogenic lifestyles, this microorganism inhabits host niches that differ markedly in the levels of bioavailable iron. A number of recent studies have exposed C. albicans specializations for acquiring iron from specific host molecules in regions where iron is scarce,...
متن کاملthe survey of the virtual higher education in iran and the ways of its development and improvement
این پژوهش با هدف "بررسی وضعیت موجود آموزش عالی مجازی در ایران و راههای توسعه و ارتقای آن " و با روش توصیفی-تحلیلی و پیمایشی صورت پذیرفته است. بررسی اسنادو مدارک موجود در زمینه آموزش مجازی نشان داد تعداد دانشجویان و مقاطع تحصیلی و رشته محل های دوره های الکترونیکی چندان مطلوب نبوده و از نظر کیفی نیز وضعیت شاخص خدمات آموزشی اساتید و وضعیت شبکه اینترنت در محیط آموزش مجازی نامطلوب است.
