Adherence and Blocking of Candida Albicans to Cultured Vaginal Epithelial Cells: Treatments to Decrease Adherence
BACKGROUND Pathogenesis of mucosal microorganisms depends on adherence to the tissues they colonize and infect. For Candida albicans, cell surface hydrophobicity may play a significant role in tissue binding ability. METHODS A continuous cell line of vaginal epithelial cells (VEC) was grown in keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM) with supplements and harvested by trypsinization. VEC were com...
متن کاملCranberry proanthocyanidins inhibit the adherence properties of Candida albicans and cytokine secretion by oral epithelial cells
BACKGROUND Oral candidiasis is a common fungal disease mainly caused by Candida albicans. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of A-type cranberry proanthocyanidins (AC-PACs) on pathogenic properties of C. albicans as well as on the inflammatory response of oral epithelial cells induced by this oral pathogen. METHODS Microplate dilution assays were performed to determine the e...
متن کاملCandida albicans isolates from HIV-infected and AIDS patients exhibit enhanced adherence to epithelial cells.
The increased prevalence of oral candidosis associated with HIV infection must be intrinsically related to immunological changes in the host, but might also involve alterations to the infecting strains of yeast. This study aimed to determine if strains of Candida albicans isolated from asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals or AIDS patients possessed altered adherence properties in an in-vitro b...
متن کاملHIV protease inhibitors attenuate adherence of Candida albicans to epithelial cells in vitro.
Oropharyngeal candidiasis is one of the first and most commonly reported opportunistic infections of untreated AIDS patients. With the introduction of the new antiviral HAART therapy, including HIV protease inhibitors, this mucocutaneous infection is nowadays only rarely observed in treated patients. It was recently shown that HIV protease inhibitors have a direct attenuating effect on Candida ...
متن کاملShort reports Adherence of Candida albicans to oral epithelial cells diVerentiated by Papanicolaou staining
Objective—To examine the relative adherence of Candida albicans to oral epithelial cells diVerentiated by Papanicolaou staining. Methods—Oral epithelial cells were collected from 10 healthy adults (five male, five female) and counted. Equal volumes of oral epithelial cells and candida were mixed and incubated. The epithelial cells from this mix were collected by filtration through 10 μm polycar...
