Gastrointestinal colonization and systemic dissemination by Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis in intact and immunocompromised mice.
Gastrointestinal colonization and systemic dissemination by Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis were compared in intact and immunocompromised mice. Five-day-old CFW mice were inoculated by the oral-intragastric route with 1.0 x 10(7) CFU of two C. albicans and two C. tropicalis strains isolated from the blood of patients with acute leukemia and with C. albicans 4918 and its cerulenin-resist...
متن کاملEcology of Candida albicans gut colonization: inhibition of Candida adhesion, colonization, and dissemination from the gastrointestinal tract by bacterial antagonism.
Antibiotic-treated and untreated Syrian hamsters were inoculated intragastrically with Candida albicans to determine whether C. albicans could opportunistically colonize the gastrointestinal tract and disseminate to visceral organs. Antibiotic treatment decreased the total population levels of the indigenous bacterial flora and predisposed hamsters to gastrointestinal overgrowth and subsequent ...
متن کاملCandida albicans colonization and dissemination from the murine gastrointestinal tract: the influence of morphology and Th17 immunity
The ability of Candida albicans to cause disease is associated with its capacity to undergo morphological transition between yeast and filamentous forms, but the role of morphology in colonization and dissemination from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains poorly defined. To explore this, we made use of wild-type and morphological mutants of C. albicans in an established model of GI tract co...
متن کاملFactors affecting colonization and dissemination of Candida albicans from the gastrointestinal tract of mice.
Male ICR Swiss mice (2 to 3 months old) were fed Candida albicans in their drinking water for 3 days, followed by no treatment, antibiotics in their drinking water (daily), or immunosuppressants given by intraperitoneal injection (two to three times weekly) over a 3- to 4-week period. The organs of animals were processed to determine the numbers of C. albicans and total aerobic bacteria per g o...
متن کاملVirulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a murine model of gastrointestinal colonization and dissemination in neutropenia.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia in cancer patients develops from initial gastrointestinal (GI) colonization with translocation into the bloodstream in the setting of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and GI mucosal damage. We established a reproducible mouse model of P. aeruginosa GI colonization and systemic spread during neutropenia. Mice received 2 mg of streptomycin/ml of drinking water an...
