YeastOral infections due to Candida albicans are a common occurrence in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the yeast and hyphal forms of the organism could be killed using the light-activated antimicrobial agent toluidine ...
Infections by other species are being reported with increasing frequency, such as the azole-resistant speciesCandida inconspicuaand newerCandida speciessuch asC. orthopsilosisandC. metapsilosis.12The API Yeast 20C strip is a commercial kit that gives accurate identification of mostCandidaspp. in 2...

Tetraspanins are a family of small proteins with four transmembrane segments (TMSs) playing multiple roles in human physiology. Nevertheless, we know little about the factors determining their structure. In the study at hand, we focus on the small i
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) ofPseudomonas aeruginosainjects effector proteins into neighbouring competitors and host cells, providing a fitness advantage that allows this opportunistic nosocomial pathogen to persist and prevail during the onset of infections. However, despite the high clinical rel...
The universal stress protein VcUSP1 was shown, via yeast one-hybrid and dual luciferase assays, to directly interact with the promoter of VcMYB4a. The VcUSP1-VcMYB4a pathway's inhibitory effect on UV-B-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis is apparent in these results, providing insight into how UV...
Moreover, patients treated with anidulafungin also had more rapid eradication of yeast from the blood, as well as lower rates of persistent C. albicans infection. Whether the better response of anidulafungin in the subpopulation of patients with systemic candidiasis caused by C. albicans emerged as...
Two hydrophobin proteins, MPG1 and MHP1, are highly expressed during rice blast infections. These hydrophobins have been suggested to facilitate fungal spore adhesion and to direct the action of the enzyme cutinase 2, resulting in penetration of the plant host. Therefore a mechanistic understanding...
Clotrimazole: Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is used for the treatment of dermal infections caused by various species of dermatophytes and yeast. The primary action of clotrimazole is against dividing and growing organisms. ...
