Dissociation of mannan--serum complexes and detection of Candida albicans mannan by enzyme immunoassay variations.
Candida albicans mannan was added to normal human sera and the resulting complexes were dissociated by boiling (boil) with EDTA or by alkali treatment (bead method). The mannan released was detected by "sandwich" enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or by EIA inhibition. Each EIA took 2.3 h to perform. The total time for the boil-EIA combination was 2.7 h and for the bead-EIA, 3.8 h. The temperature favora...
متن کاملMicafungin at physiological serum concentrations shows antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis biofilms.
We assessed the in vitro activity of micafungin against preformed Candida biofilms by measuring the concentration of drug causing the most fungal damage and inhibition of regrowth. We studied 37 biofilm-producing Candida spp. strains from blood cultures. We showed that micafungin was active against planktonic and sessile forms of Candida albicans strains and moderately active against Candida pa...
متن کاملPhysiological Studies on Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a polymorphic fungus that is capable of causing the life-threatening disease Candidiasis once it reaches the bloodstream of a susceptible host. One of the major virulence factors is its ability to switch from yeast to hyphal or pseudohyphal morphology. Yeast to hyphal transition is well studied and many environmental signals such as high temperature, alkaline pH, and presenc...
متن کاملSer or Leu: structural snapshots of mistranslation in Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a polymorphic opportunistic fungal pathogen normally residing as commensal on mucosal surfaces, skin and gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. However, in immunocompromised patients C. albicans can cause superficial mucosal infections or life-threatening disseminated candidemia. A change in physiological conditions triggers a cascade of molecular events leading to morph...
متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
