Expression of plasma coagulase among pathogenic Candida species.
Candida coagulase production was assessed by the classical tube test. All Candida krusei strains were coagulase negative, but most C. albicans and C. tropicalis strains can produce coagulase. Some strains agglutinated the Pastorex Staph-Plus reagent, probably because of antigen similarities to coagulase produced by Staphylococcus aureus that may cause mistakes in clinical laboratories.
متن کاملMultilocus sequence typing of pathogenic Candida species.
Typing strains within a microbial species on the basis of DNA sequences at multiple loci has greatly advanced study of the epidemiology and evolutionary phylogenetics of many bacterial (9, 40, 60, 72) and fungal (26, 68) pathogens. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes have now been published for five of the opportunistically pathogenic Candida species: C. albicans (6, 7), C. dubliniensis (...
متن کاملInvestigating biofilm production, coagulase and hemolytic activity in Candida species isolated from denture stomatitis patients.
OBJECTIVE Oral candidiasis, in the form of Candida-associated denture stomatitis, represents a common disease in a large percentage of denture wearers, and Candida albicans remains the most commonly isolated species. In this study, we aimed to evaluate biofilm production, coagulase and hemolytic activity of Candida species isolated from denture stomatitis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This ...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activities of Euphorbia macroclada and fluconazole against pathogenic Candida species
Background and Purpose: Candida species constitute an important group of opportunistic fungi, which cause various clinical diseases. Considering the resistance of some Candida species to conventional antifungal agents, treatment of such cases may be challenging and complicated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal activities of Euphorbia macroclada latex and fluc...
متن کاملDetection of coagulase activity in Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
Coagulase activity was detected in 99% of 225 strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. These strains included isolates from a variety of animal and environmental sources. Activity could be detected by the tube or slide technique, with the tube reactions being easier to interpret. Coagulation of rabbit and/or bovine plasma was observed, with most strains reacting in both. The activity appeared t...
