Rapid, colorimetric identification of Candida albicans.
A total of 706 yeast isolates were evaluated in parallel by the Candida albicans Screen (CAS; Carr-Scarborough Microbiologicals, Inc., Stone Mountain, Ga.) test and the germ tube (GT) test in comparison with the API 20C Yeast Identification System. The CAS and GT tests correctly identified 419 of the 422 isolates of C. albicans (99.3%). Two of the false-negative reactions occurring with the CAS...

The secreted aspartyl proteinases of Candida albicans (products of the SAP genes) are thought to contribute to virulence through their effects on Candida adherence, invasion, and pathogenicity. From a single strain of C. albicans (WO-1) which expresses a phenotypic switching system, three secreted aspartyl proteinases have been identified as determined by molecular weight and N-terminal sequenc...

Figure 1. Fluorescent protein fusions in Candida albicans. Useful fluorescent markers for tracking subcellular structures in C. albicans include: DAPI (DNA); Nop1-GFP (green fluorescent protein, localizing to the nucleolus); Hhf1-GFP (chromatin); Tub2-GFP (microtubules, green); and Tub4-mCherry fluorescent protein (spindle pole bodies, red).

متن کامل[Candida albicans].
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. Its proliferation in human hosts is believed to be controlled by immunologic mechanisms. The plasma membrane of the fungus posseses an H+-ATPase (PM-ATPase) which actively extrudes protons to generate an electrochemical gradient which is used in co-transport of nutrients. This ATPase is associated with the growth, dimorphism and pathogenicity of th...
متن کاملPerformance of the Albicans Id2® Chromogenic Medium for Rapid Identification of Candida Albicans
The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of the chromogenic media Albicans ID2® (bioMérieux, France) for the identification of Candida albicans among 330 yeast strains. All C. albicans (100) and C. dubliniensis (20) strains exhibited blue color when cultured on Albicans ID2®. However, the blue color was also exhibited by cultures of C. rugosa (30/30) and C. tropicalis (3/50) isolates.
