Sensitivity to nikkomycin Z in Candida albicans: role of peptide permeases.
The uptake of tritiated nikkomycin Z, a potent inhibitor of chitin synthetase, is mediated by a peptide transport system in Candida albicans. Kinetic transport assays with radioactive di- and tripeptides and competition studies suggest that two distinct systems operate in this yeast. Nikkomycin Z was transported through one of these systems, common to di- and tripeptides. A peptide transport-de...
متن کاملMulti-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...

Substrate Specificity of Aspartic Proteinases and Candida Albicans Pathogenesis Rola Proteazy Aspartylowej W Wirulencji Candida Albicans Część I. Specyficzność Substratowa Proteazy Aspartylowej a Patogeneza Zakażeń Candida Albicans
Candida albicans resides mainly as a harmless commensal in the gastrointestinal tract, vagina and some cutaneous areas of humans. However, in individuals who are immunocompromised or debilitated in some other way, C. albicans is responsible for superficialy-localized or systemic infections. Candida albicans produces a large family of secreted aspartyl proteinases (Saps) which are key virulence ...
متن کاملSpecificity and mechanism of in vitro adherence of Candida albicans.
Adherence of 14C-glucose labeled Candida albicans to vaginal epithelial cells was measured in the presence of 10 potential inhibitory sugars at concentrations of 5 to 150 mg per ml for 90 minutes at 37 degrees C. In competitive inhibition experiments, no inhibition of adherence was seen with any sugar at any concentration. On the contrary, with the exception of the aminosugars glucosamine, gala...
متن کاملResponse and specificity of antibodies for Candida albicans.
Rabbit antibodies for Candida albicans, reacting in agglutination and fluorescent-antibody reactions, were present in both IgM and IgG protein fractions. The two types of immune globulins were separated from ammonium sulfate-precipitated gamma-globulin either by filtration through a column of Sephadex G-200 or by diethylaminoethyl column chromatography performed by stepwise elution with various...
