Metabolism impacts upon Candida immunogenicity and pathogenicity at multiple levels
Metabolism is integral to the pathogenicity of Candida albicans, a major fungal pathogen of humans. As well as providing the platform for nutrient assimilation and growth in diverse host niches, metabolic adaptation affects the susceptibility of C. albicans to host-imposed stresses and antifungal drugs, the expression of key virulence factors, and fungal vulnerability to innate immune defences....
متن کاملSewage impacts coral reefs at multiple levels of ecological organization.
Against a backdrop of rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification which pose global threats to coral reefs, excess nutrients and turbidity continue to be significant stressors at regional and local scales. Because interventions usually require local data on pollution impacts, we measured ecological responses to sewage discharges in Surin Marine Park, Thailand. Wastewater disposal significan...
متن کاملCandida albicans pathogenicity mechanisms
The polymorphic fungus Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microbiome. In most individuals, C. albicans resides as a lifelong, harmless commensal. Under certain circumstances, however, C. albicans can cause infections that range from superficial infections of the skin to life-threatening systemic infections. Several factors and activities have been identified which contribute to th...
متن کاملCandida albicans Pathogenicity and Epithelial Immunity
Candida species are one of the most common fungal pathogens of humans and the causative agents of superficial and invasive candidiasis. The vast majority of Candida infections are mucosal, manifesting as vaginal or oral candidiasis, which together account for an estimated 40 million infections per year. High-level Candida colonisation is also associated with several gut diseases, including Croh...
متن کاملClinical and pathogenicity aspects of Candida species
Candida species normally exist as commensals of the skin and mucosa, but they are also opportunistic pathogens, with the ability to cause a variety of superficial and invasive diseases. Among the several of Candida species, Candida albicans remains the most common fungal isolate, mainly from blood cultures in the diagnostic of nosocomial bloodstream infection. However, the rates of candida infe...
