Candida albicans promotes invasion and colonisation of Candida glabrata in a reconstituted human vaginal epithelium.
OBJECTIVE The principal aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro co-infection of a reconstituted human vaginal epithelium (RHVE) by Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. METHODS The ability of both species to invade and colonise the RHVE was examined using species-specific peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe hybridisation, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a novel qRT-PCR p...
متن کاملEvaluation of Changes in Oral Epithelium, Inflammation and Candida albicans Infection in Patients using Removable Orthodontic Appliances
Introduction: Nowadays, removable orthodontic appliances are widely used in the treatment of straightening teeth and guided the growth of the jaws. These devices have acrylic parts in which methyl methacrylate monomers are used and have been the subject of discussion in recent years as a cause of epithelial lesions in the oral cavity, and they are considered as one of the factors in mucosal al...
متن کاملRole of denture-wearing on colonization and antifungal resistance of oral Candida albicans isolates in healthy people
The primary focus of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of Candida albicans isolatesin the oral cavity and its probable correlation with dental implant applications and prosthesis. Wecollected oral swabs from patients who had attended private dentistry clinics, followed by stringentand controlled antifungal susceptibility testing and calculation of colony forming units (CFUs).Amph...
متن کاملfrequency of candidiasis and colonization of candida albicans in relation to oral contraceptive pills
conclusions the results of the present study demonstrate that oral contraceptives containing estradiol can lead to candida colonization in the oral cavity. it is recommended that further studies comparing the influence of oral contraceptives on candida’s adherence to the epithelium is highly recommended. results the frequency of positive cultures of candida albicans was higher (p value = 0.03) ...
متن کاملExtracellular enolase of Candida albicans is involved in colonization of mammalian intestinal epithelium
Enolase is secreted by Candida albicans and is present in its biofilms although its extracellular function is unknown. Here we show that extracellular enolase mediates the colonization of small intestine mucosa by C. albicans. Assays using intestinal mucosa disks show that C. albicans adhesion is inhibited, in a dose dependent mode, either by pretreatment of intestinal epithelium mucosa disks w...
