“The gum almost buries the teeth, and large polypoid masses form which tend tofungate.” “We present a case of an individual that was found to have a 1 x 1-cmfungatelaryngeal lesion with superficial organisms consistent with Candida species.”...
Mice deficient for B cells show a deficit in cell-mediated immunity that allows the establishment of infections with Candida species and P. carinii. iii) Complement While fungal cells can activate the complement cascade, they are generally resistant to complement-mediated lysis. However, they are ...
Antifungal drugs such as the echinocandins family are cyclic lipopeptides with an N-linked acyl lipid chain. This drug display some fungicidal activity against Candida species and many other fungal pathogens. Caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin are major drugs from the echinocandins family. The ...
gossypii and several yeast species show higher translation efficiency of cell cycle genes in A. gossypii, which is consistent with more complicated cell cycle processes in this multicellular organism. On the other hand, our results are also consistent with the faster growth of unicellular yeasts, ...
However, due to the large number of species in this microbiome, it is difficult to study the functions involved in the interaction of the whole bacterial community with Fg on wheat head. Therefore, we focused on a simple culturable bacterium–Fg interaction system to investigate the roles of ...
Cell-adhesive factors mediate adhesion of cells to substrates via peptide motifs such as the Arg–Gly–Asp (RGD) sequence. With the onset of sustainability issues, there is a pressing need to find alternatives to animal-derived cell-adhesive factors, esp
Wimalasena TT, Enjalbert B, Guillemette T, Plumridge A, Budge S, Yin Z, Brown AJ, Archer DB: Impact of the unfolded protein response upon genome-wide expression patterns, and the role of Hac1 in the polarized growth, of Candida albicans. Fungal Genet Biol. 2008, 45 (9): 1235-1247...
Our data showed that Kazachstania slooffiae (named Candida slooffiae before 2005 [29, 30]) was the most abundant gut fungal species in the seven breeds of weaned piglets. K. slooffiae inhibited lysine succinylation, and these proteins were especially enriched in the glycolysis pathway in ...
Chytrid fungus growth is dependent on favourable environmental conditions; areas with suboptimal temperatures and humidity provide refugia for frogs, where the pathogen is present, but infection intensity (and hence mortality) is reduced. Species such as the armoured mistfrog (Litoria lorica) (Figure ...
Contamination with Candida species may occur at the time of IUD insertion (Schweid and Hopkins, 1968). An in vitro study showed that C. albicans isolated from vaginal discharge of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis strongly adhered to all parts of IUD and produced biofilm (Chassot et al.,...
