Formation of aerial hyphae in Candida albicans.
نویسنده
چکیده
Each of 22 isolates of Candida albicans was induced to produce aerial hyphae by culturing on a solid medium containing a peptone, acid-hydrolyzed casein, soluble starch, and agar in an atmosphere of 10% CO(2) at 37 C and room temperatures. Production of aerial hyphae is not diagnostic for C. albicans. Some of the other species of Candida may also produce such structures.

Interaction of Candida albicans with Fluconazole/ Clotrimazole: Effect on Hyphae Formation and Expression of Hyphal Wall Protein 1
Background and Aims: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the most common opportunistic human pathogen. Therapeutic options for Candida infections are limited to available antifungal drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fluconazole/clotrimazole (FLU/CLT) on C. albicans hyphae formation. Materials and Methods: We have established the effectiveness of the combination of FL...

متن کاملDifferential secretion of Sap4-6 proteins in Candida albicans during hyphae formation.
Secreted aspartyl proteinases (Saps) from Candida albicans are encoded by a multi-gene family and are considered to be putative virulence factors for candidiasis. SAP4-6 mRNAs were first detected during hyphae formation and were assumed to play roles in the development of disseminated candidiasis. Recombinant Sap proteins (Sap2-6) were prepared and specific antibodies were generated against Sap...

Biofilm formation plays a key role in the life cycles and subsistence of many microorganisms. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has a high propensity to develop biofilms and resulted resistant to traditional antifungal agents. Biofilms are composed of a mixture of cell types, including yeast, pseudohyphal and hyphal cells, and hyphae are a prominent feature of biofilms. Riccardin D is ...
