Selective interaction of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Candida albicans and its possible role in clinical specimens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study of 27 clinical specimens from which Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Candida albicans were isolated simultaneously indicated that 44% of the gonococcal isolates were resistant to inhibition by the C. albicans with which they were found and an additional 33% were totally resistant to inhibition by all C. albicans tested. All 27 C. albicans showed inhibitory activity against standard indicator strains of N. gonorrhoeae.

The Phenotypic variation of Candida albicans and susceptibility to fluconazole and voriconazole
Candida albicans is the most frequent opportunistic fungal agent in human being. One of its virulence factors is phenotypic switching. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility of different phenotypes of C. albicans, obtained from clinical specimens, to fluconazole (FLZ) and voriconazole (VRZ) with microdilution reference method. In this study, 281 C. albicans of six different phenotype...

An important cause of male infertility is the bacterial infections of the genitourinary tract. These infections affect sperm cell function and whole spermatogenesis and also cause deterioration in spermatogenesis, obstruction of the seminal tract, and impairment of spermatozoa function. The most important bacteria associated with genitourinary tract infections include chlamydia trachomatis, Nei...
متن کاملComputational insights into fluconazole resistance by the suspected mutations in lanosterol 14α-demethylase (Erg11p) of Candida albicans
Mutations in the ergosterol biosynthesis gene 11 (ERG11) of Candida albicans have been frequently reported in fluconazole-resistant clinical isolates. Exploring the mutations and their effect could provide new insights into the underlying mechanism of fluconazole resistance. Erg11p_Threonine285Alanine (Erg11p_THR285ALA), Erg11p_Leucine321Phenylalanine (Erg11p_LEU321PHE) and Erg11p_Serine457Pro...
