Virulence of Candida albicans isolated from HIV infected and non infected individuals
Candida sp contributes 33.1 % of fungal infections among HIV patients. Among the species of the genus Candida, Candida albicans is the most frequently isolated from HIV patients. This study aimed to analyze putative virulence factors of C. albicans isolated from oral cavities of HIV infected patients and healthy individuals. Twenty isolates from HIV infected patients and fourteen from healthy i...
متن کاملIn vivo and in vitro Pathogenesis and Virulence Factors of Candida albicans Strains Isolated from Cutaneous Candidiasis
Background: The Candida albicans is one of the most important global opportunistic pathogens, and the incidence of candidiasis has increased over the past few decades. Despite the established role of skin in defense against fungal invasion, little has been documented about the pathogenesis of Candida species when changing from normal flora to pathogens of vaginal and gastrointestinal epithelia....
متن کاملA New Approach to Virulence Factors of Candida albicans: From Gene to Function
Recently, there is an increasing trend in the diversity of pathogenic yeasts isolated from clinical samples. However, Candida albicans is even now the major cause of yeast infections. Candida albicans is one of the members of the mucosal microbiota which can cause cutaneous, mucosal, and disseminated invasive infections in susceptible individuals. For persistence in the host, the yeast must hav...
متن کاملComparison Between Virulence Factors of Candida albicans and Non-Albicans Species of Candida Isolated from Genitourinary Tract.
BACKGROUND Candida spp. is frequently isolated from cases of vulvovaginal candidiasis and catheter associated UTI. C.albicans is the most frequently isolated species but non-albicans species of candida are gaining clinical significance. OBJECTIVES To compare the virulence factors like biofilm production, phospholipase and hemolytic activity in C.albicans with that of non albicans species of c...
متن کاملProduction of virulence factors by species of Candida albicans isolated from urine culture
Background The candiduria can be defined as the observation of yeasts in urine examination [1]. The ability of yeast to adhere, to infect and cause the disease in the set is defined as a potential virulence or pathogenicity [2]. Virulence factors expressed by Candida species may vary depending on the type of infection, the location and the stage of the infection, and the nature of the host resp...
