Analysis of chitin at the hyphal tip of Candida albicans using calcofluor white.
Staining with calcofluor white (CFW), which is known to bind chitin-rich areas of the cell wall, revealed a difference in the fluorescence intensity at the hyphal tip between Candida albicans hyphal cells that were grown in modified Lee (M-Lee) and SPG media. The fluorescence intensity at the tip increased with the addition of salts and sugar to SPG. The chitin levels per dry cell weight in cel...
متن کاملCalcofluor White Combination Antifungal Treatments for Trichophyton rubrum and Candida albicans
Superficial mycoses caused by dermatophyte fungi are among the most common infections worldwide, yet treatment is restricted by limited effective drugs available, drug toxicity, and emergence of drug resistance. The stilbene fluorescent brightener calcofluor white (CFW) inhibits fungi by binding chitin in the cell wall, disrupting cell wall integrity, and thus entails a different mechanism of i...
متن کاملCHROMagar Candida, a new differential isolation medium for presumptive identification of clinically important Candida species.
CHROMagar Candida is a novel, differential culture medium that is claimed to facilitate the isolation and presumptive identification of some clinically important yeast species. We evaluated the use of this medium with 726 yeast isolates, including 82 isolated directly on the medium from clinical material. After 2 days of incubation at 37 degrees C, 285 C. albicans isolates gave distinctive gree...
متن کاملRapid presumptive identification of vibrios by immobilization in distilled water.
Each of 28 Vibrio strains and 3 Campylobacter strains was immobilized in distilled water (pH 6.9), but retained full motility in Trypticase soy broth. This phenomenon was not seen with any of 243 non-Vibrio, non-Campylobacter isolates representing 44 taxa of gram-negative bacteria.
متن کاملRapid method for presumptive identification of Corynebacterium jeikeium.
Corynebacterium jeikeium causes systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. A minitube assay has been developed for the presumptive identification of C. jeikeium. With our rapid sucrose-urea test and conventional biochemical tests, sixty isolates of gram-positive, catalase-positive bacilli were identified in our laboratory. Results indicated that our assay has a sensitivity of...
