Complement in Candida albicans infections.
Being normally a frequent commensal organism of the oro-gastrointestinal tract as well as the vulvovaginal cavity in immunocompetent individuals, Candida albicans also represents a major cause of opportunistic infections in locally or systemically immunocompromised hosts. Subsequent symptoms vary and range from superficial thrush to life-threatening systemic infections. The complement system is...
متن کاملAmBisome administration for Candida albicans shunt infections.
1048 tericidal activity of ceftazidime could be correlated with the MIC value for the different strains. Results when the strains were exposed to a concentration of 4 × MIC were comparable to those at 8 × MIC, suggesting that no further bactericidal effect can be achieved by increasing the ceftazidime concentration above 4 × MIC (no concentration effect). At 2 × MIC, bactericidal activity was s...
متن کاملUrinary tract infections and Candida albicans
INTRODUCTION Urinary tract candidiasis is known as the most frequent nosocomial fungal infection worldwide. Candida albicans is the most common cause of nosocomial fungal urinary tract infections; however, a rapid change in the distribution of Candida species is undergoing.

متن کاملIFN - γ in Candida albicans infections
The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans is the most frequent etiologic agent that causes opportunistic infections called candidiasis, a disease whose systemic manifestation could prove fatal and whose incidence is increasing as a result of an expanding immunocompromised population. Here we review the role of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in the host protection against invasive candidiasis. This cytoki...
متن کاملAdaptation of Candida albicans to Reactive Sulfur Species.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is highly resistant to different oxidative stresses. How reactive sulfur species (RSS) such as sulfite regulate gene expression and the role of the transcription factor Zcf2 and the sulfite exporter Ssu1 in such responses are not known. Here, we show that C. albicans specifically adapts to sulfite stress and that Zcf2 is required for tha...
