Association between phospholipase production by Malassezia pachydermatis and skin lesions.
An evaluation was made of the phospholipase activities of Malassezia pachydermatis strains isolated from healthy dogs versus those from dogs with dermatitis and otitis. A high percentage of strains of M. pachydermatis obtained from lesion sites (93.9%) produced phospholipase, compared to the strains obtained from healthy skin of the same dog with localized lesions (41.4%) and healthy dogs (10.6%).
متن کاملEnzymatic and hemolytic activities of Candida dubliniensis strains.
Candida dubliniensis is an opportunistic yeast that has been recovered from several body sites in many populations; it is most often recovered from the oral cavities of human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients. Although extensive studies on epidemiology and phylogeny of C. dubliniensis have been performed, little is known about virulence factors such as exoenzymatic and hemolytic activiti...
متن کاملCorrelation of phospholipase and proteinase production of Candida with in vivo pathogenicity in Galleria mellonella
An essential factor to the virulence of the genus Candida is the ability to produce enzymes and this may be crucial in the establishment of fungal infections. Aim: This study investigated in vitro enzymatic activities of Candida species and their virulence in an in vivo Galleria mellonella experimental model. Methods: Twenty-four clinical strains of Candida spp. isolated from the human oral cav...
متن کاملDetermination of germ tube, phospholipase, and proteinase production by bloodstream isolates of Candida albicans.
INTRODUCTION Candida albicans is a commensal and opportunistic agent that causes infection in immunocompromised individuals. Several attributes contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of this yeast, including the production of germ tubes (GTs) and extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, particularly phospholipase and proteinase. This study aimed to investigate GT production and phospholipase an...
متن کاملRapid plate method for screening hyaluronidase and chondroitin sulfatase-producing microorganisms.
Microbial hyaluronidase and chondroitin sulfatase have been studied because of the possible associations between these enzymes and microbial mechanisms of pathogenicity. One of the most sensitive biological assays for mucopolysaccharide-degrading enzymes is the turbidity reducing unit (TRU) method (3). In most assays for these two enzymes, measurement of activity involves the conjugation of bov...
