Effect of farnesol on Candida dubliniensis morphogenesis.
AIMS Cell-cell signalling in Candida albicans is a known phenomenon and farnesol was identified as a quorum sensing molecule determining the yeast morphology. The aim of this work was to verify if farnesol had a similar effect on Candida dubliniensis, highlighting the effect of farnesol on Candida spp. morphogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS Two different strains of C. dubliniensis and one of C. a...
متن کاملCandida dubliniensis: An update.
The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented [1-4]. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised individuals, it is perhaps not surprising that species previously not associated with human disease and novel species previously unknown to science have been identified as po...
متن کاملEffect of Marine Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Biofilm Formation of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis
The effect of marine polyunsaturated fatty acids on biofilm formation by the human pathogens Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis was investigated. It was found that stearidonic acid (18:4 n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (22:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3) have an inhibitory effect on mitochondrial metabolism of both C. albicans and C. dubliniensis ...
متن کاملCandida dubliniensis Infection, Singapore
To the Editor: We read with interest the letter by Marriott et al. (1) describing the first case of Candida dubliniensis fungemia in Australia. We report the first two cases of C. dubliniensis infection in Singapore. We have been using the API 20C AUX on all yeast isolates from blood, sterile fluids, and tissue to screen for C. dubliniensis since May 2000. To our knowledge, this infection has n...
متن کاملEnvironmental Source of Candida dubliniensis
We isolated Candida dubliniensis from a nonhuman source, namely, tick samples from an Irish seabird colony. The species was unambiguously identifi ed by phenotypic and genotypic means. Analysis of the 5.8S rRNA gene showed that the environmental isolates belong to C. dubliniensis genotype 1.
