Mechanisms of the Antifungal Action of Marine Metagenome-Derived Peptide, MMGP1, against Candida albicans
BACKGROUND Development of resistant variants to existing antifungal drugs continues to be the serious problem in Candida albicans-induced fungal pathogenesis, which has a considerable impact on animal and human health. Identification and characterization of newer drugs against C. albicans is, therefore, essential. MMGP1 is a direct cell-penetrating peptide recently identified from marine metage...
متن کاملMembrane perturbation induced by papiliocin peptide, derived from Papilio xuthus, in Candida albicans.
Previously, papiliocin was isolated from the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus and its antimicrobial activity was suggested. In this study, the antifungal mechanism of papiliocin was investigated against Candida albicans. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) fluorescence analysis indicated that papiliocin disturbed the fungal plasma membrane. More...
متن کاملSynergistic Antifungal Effects of Lactobacillus Strains and Nano Selenium on Growth Inhibition of Candida albicans
Background and Aims: Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Uncontrolled use of antibiotics has resulted in drug resistance. This study has been conducted to find a suitable alternative for these drugs. Materials and Methods: Primarily, standard and clinical isolates of C.albicans were collected. In order to indentify clinical isolates from lambs, the conventional mycolo...
متن کاملSNARE derived peptide mimic inducing membrane fusionw
Membrane fusion is a central cellular process in eukaryotic cells. In the secretory pathway connecting organelles between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane, fusion is mediated by sets of SNARE proteins ( soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment r eceptor). 1 Complementary sets of SNARE proteins are associated with the respective membranes. Upon contact, the SNAREs fo...
متن کاملQuinacrine inhibits Candida albicans growth and filamentation at neutral pH.
Candida albicans is a common cause of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI), in part due to its strong propensity to form biofilms. Drug repurposing is an approach that might identify agents that are able to overcome antifungal drug resistance within biofilms. Quinacrine (QNC) is clinically active against the eukaryotic protozoan parasites Plasmodium and Giardia. We sought to investi...
