Comparison of Candida dubliniensis and C. albicans based on polar lipid composition.
AIMS To test the hypothesis that strains of Candida dubliniensis and C. albicans can be differentiated on the basis of polar lipid profiles. METHODS AND RESULTS Five isolates of C. dubliniensis and six isolates of C. albicans were tested by growth at 45 degrees C, production of chlamydospores on cornmeal agar, colonial colour on CHROMagar Candida medium and assimilation of DL-lactate, alpha-m...
متن کاملComparison of polar lipids from yeast and mycelial forms of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis.
The aim of the present study was to compare polar lipids of yeast and mycelial forms of both Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis. Cultures were harvested from Lee's medium after incubation at 37 degrees C for 48 h. Yeast and mycelial forms were washed, separated from one another, dried and lipids extracted and prepared for fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry analysis in the negative-i...
متن کاملCandida albicans versus Candida dubliniensis: Why Is C. albicans More Pathogenic?
Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are highly related pathogenic yeast species. However, C. albicans is far more prevalent in human infection and has been shown to be more pathogenic in a wide range of infection models. Comparison of the genomes of the two species has revealed that they are very similar although there are some significant differences, largely due to the expansion of viru...
متن کاملEffect of amphotericin B, nystatin and miconazole on the polar lipids of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis
Department of Medical Objective: To determine whether nystatin, amphotericin B and miconazole have similar effects Mycoparasitology, upon the fatty acids and phospholipids of Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis. Jundishapour University of Materials and Methods: Serial dilutions of antifungal drugs were prepared in flasks. Then 50 ml Medical Sciences, Ahwaz, of standardised suspension of tested...
متن کاملCandida albicans and Candida dubliniensis: comparison of biofilm formation in terms of biomass and activity.
Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis are two species responsible for oral candidiasis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Microbial infection is preceded by adherence and biofilm formation. Biofilm formation represents the most common form of C. albicans in the oral cavity and is considered to be one of the most important virulence factors. In this study, the biofilm formation ability of...
