Species distribution and susceptibility profile of Candida species in a Brazilian public tertiary hospital
(2010-03-23)
Background. Species identification and antifungal susceptibility tests were carried out on 212 Candida isolates obtained from bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections and dialysis-associated peritonitis, from cases ...
Candida/Candida biofilms. First description of dual-species Candida albicans/C. rugosa biofilm
(2016-04-01)
Denture liners have physical properties that favour plaque accumulation and colonization by Candida species, irritating oral tissues and causing denture stomatitis. To isolate and determine the incidence of oral Candida ...
Hyaluronidase and chondroitin sulphatase production by different species of Candida
(1995-01-01)
The production of hyaluronidase and chondroitin sulphatase by Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida guilliermondii and Candida krusei was investigated using a complex culture medium (Sabouraud ...
Lactobacillus species increase the survival of Galleria mellonella infected with Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida clinical isolates
(2019-04-01)
Investigation into new therapeutic strategies, such as the use of bacterial isolates with probiotic characteristics, has increased in importance due to the high incidence of Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida ...
Identification of Candida species in the clinical laboratory: A review of conventional, commercial, and molecular techniques
(2013-05-21)
In healthy individuals, Candida species are considered commensal yeasts of the oral cavity. However, these microorganisms can also act as opportunist pathogens, particularly the so-called non-albicans Candida species that ...
Mixed biofilms formed by C. albicans and non-albicans species: a study of microbial interactions
(Sociedade Brasileira De Pesquisa Odontologica, 2016-01-01)
Most Candida infections are related to microbial biofilms often formed by the association of different species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans and non-albicans species ...
Experimental systemic virulence of oral Candida dubliniensis isolates in comparison with Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09-01)
There are no previous studies on the comparative virulence of Candida dubliniensis with other non-albicans species. The aim of this study was to compare the virulence and infection kinetics of C. dubliniensis and other ...
Candida species: Current epidemiology, pathogenicity, biofilm formation, natural antifungal products and new therapeutic options
(2013-01-01)
The incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly, so contributing to morbidity and mortality. This is caused by an increase in antimicrobial resistance and the restricted number of antifungal drugs, which ...
Interactions between terpinen-4-ol and nystatin on biofilm of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis
(2018-07-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of Terpinen-4-ol associated with nystatin, on single and mixed species biofilms formed by Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis, as well as the effect of ...
Antifungal activity of propolis on different species of Candida
(2001-12-01)
Propolis is a resinous material collected by bees from the buds or other parts of plants. It is known for its biological properties, having antibacterial, antifungal and healing properties. The antifungal activity of ...
