resistance of candida albicans biofilms to drugs and the host immune system
conclusion mature biofilms were found to be much more resistant to antifungal agents and the host immune system than free cells. the factors responsible for high resistance included the complex architecture of biofilms, ecm, increased expression of drug efflux pumps, and metabolic plasticity. objectives the present work investigated certain aspects of the resistance of c. albicans biofilms to d...
متن کاملModulating Host Signaling Pathways to Promote Resistance to Infection by Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a common human fungal pathogen capable of causing serious systemic infections that can progress to become lethal. Current therapeutic approaches have limited effectiveness, especially once a systemic infection is established, in part due to the lack of an effective immune response. Boosting the immune response to C. albicans has been the goal of immunotherapy, but it has to ...
متن کاملAntiarthritic effect of VIP in relation to the host resistance against Candida albicans infection.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is one of the prospective candidates for clinical application in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its antiarthritic effect is associated with the suppression of inflammatory and autoimmune responses. The ability of VIP to trigger a shift towards Th2 immunity suggests that anti-infectious host resistance might be affected. In the present study VIP was applied at the...
متن کاملCell biology of Candida albicans–host interactions
Candida albicans is a commensal coloniser of most people and a pathogen of the immunocompromised or patients in which barriers that prevent dissemination have been disrupted. Both the commensal and pathogenic states involve regulation and adaptation to the host microenvironment. The pathogenic potential can be downregulated to sustain commensalism or upregulated to damage host tissue and avoid ...
متن کاملEvolution of drug resistance in Candida albicans.
The widespread deployment of antimicrobial agents in medicine and agriculture is nearly always followed by the evolution of resistance to these agents in the pathogen. With the limited availability of antifungal drugs and the increasing incidence of opportunistic fungal infections, the emergence of drug resistance in fungal pathogens poses a serious public health concern. Antifungal drug resist...
