Being normally a frequent commensal organism of the oro-gastrointestinal tract as well as the vulvovaginal cavity in immunocompetent individuals, Candida albicans also represents a major cause of opportunistic infections in locally or systemically immunocompromised hosts. Subsequent symptoms vary and range from superficial thrush to life-threatening systemic infections. The complement system is...
متن کاملAmBisome administration for Candida albicans shunt infections.
1048 tericidal activity of ceftazidime could be correlated with the MIC value for the different strains. Results when the strains were exposed to a concentration of 4 × MIC were comparable to those at 8 × MIC, suggesting that no further bactericidal effect can be achieved by increasing the ceftazidime concentration above 4 × MIC (no concentration effect). At 2 × MIC, bactericidal activity was s...
متن کاملAbsence of photoreactivating enzyme in Candida albicans. Candida stellatoidea, and Candida tropicalis.

متن کاملExperience with invasive Candida infections.
Between January and July 1995, 227 patients at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center had positive fungal cultures. Candida spp were the most common fungi isolated. Forty-three patients with invasive disease, as indicated by fungus-positive blood cultures, became the focus of our study. C albicans caused fungaemia in 21 patients (49%). Twenty-eight patients (65%) were less than 50 years of age; thre...
