Multi-species biofilm of Candida albicans and non-Candida albicans Candida species on acrylic substrate
OBJECTIVE In polymicrobial biofilms bacteria extensively interact with Candida species, but the interaction among the different species of the Candida is yet to be completely evaluated. In the present study, the difference in biofilm formation ability of clinical isolates of four species of Candida in both single-species and multi-species combinations on the surface of dental acrylic resin stri...
متن کاملVirulence factors of non-Candida albicans Candida species
Candidosis caused by non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species have been increased in recent years, namely due Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis. Furthermore, candidosis is facilitated by a number of virulence factors, such as adherence to medical devices and/or host cells, biofilm formation and secretion of enzymes. Thus, the main goal of this study was to charact...
متن کاملAzole Antifungal Resistance in Candida albicans and Emerging Non-albicans Candida Species
Within the limited antifungal armamentarium, the azole antifungals are the most frequent class used to treat Candida infections. Azole antifungals such as fluconazole are often preferred treatment for many Candida infections as they are inexpensive, exhibit limited toxicity, and are available for oral administration. There is, however, extensive documentation of intrinsic and developed resistan...
متن کاملRisk factors for fatal candidemia caused by Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida species
BACKGROUND Invasive fungal infections, such as candidemia, caused by Candida species have been increasing. Candidemia is not only associated with a high mortality (30% to 40%) but also extends the length of hospital stay and increases the costs of medical care. Sepsis caused by Candida species is clinically indistinguishable from bacterial infections. Although, the clinical presentations of the...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of histatin-5 against non-albicans Candida species.
Fungicidal effects of histatin-5 against 26 oral isolates belonging to 5 non-albicans Candida species were examined. Fifty microM of histatin-5 killed more than 95% of Candida tropicalis and Candida guilliermondii isolates and more than 90% of Candida parapsilosis and Candida krusei. However, Candida glabrata was less sensitive to the peptide (mean 62.9%). Our results, taken together, demonstra...
