Virulence Traits Contributing to Pathogenicity of Candida Species
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The fungus belonging to genus Candida is the only opportunistic mycotic pathogen causing a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mucocutaneous overgrowth to life threatening disseminated infections [1]. This opportunistic fungal pathogen is ubiquitous in nature and can exist as saprophyte and commensal. However, under certain conditions Candida may transit from a commensal to a potent pathogen.

Virulence Factors Contributing to Pathogenicity of Candida tropicalis and Its Antifungal Susceptibility Profile
The incidence of invasive candidiasis has increased over the past few decades. Although Candida albicans remains by far the most common species encountered, in recent years shift towards non-albicans Candida species like Candida tropicalis is noted. Here in this study we determined the virulence factors and antifungal susceptibility profile of 125 C. tropicalis isolated from various clinical sp...
متن کاملEvaluation of esterase and hemolysin activities of different Candida species isolated from vulvovaginitis cases in Lorestan Province, Iran
Background and Purpose: Annually affecting millions of women, vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is commonly described by signs and symptoms of vulvovaginal inflammation in the presence of Candida species. Today, the detection of the virulence factors plays a major role in the understanding of pathogenesis of candidiasis and helps produce new anticandidial drugs to improve its treatment efficiency....
متن کاملClinical and pathogenicity aspects of Candida species
Candida species normally exist as commensals of the skin and mucosa, but they are also opportunistic pathogens, with the ability to cause a variety of superficial and invasive diseases. Among the several of Candida species, Candida albicans remains the most common fungal isolate, mainly from blood cultures in the diagnostic of nosocomial bloodstream infection. However, the rates of candida infe...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity among Enterococcus faecalis
Enterococcus faecalis, a ubiquitous member of mammalian gastrointestinal flora, is a leading cause of nosocomial infections and a growing public health concern. The enterococci responsible for these infections are often resistant to multiple antibiotics and have become notorious for their ability to acquire and disseminate antibiotic resistances. In the current study, we examined genetic relati...
متن کاملCorrelation of phospholipase and proteinase production of Candida with in vivo pathogenicity in Galleria mellonella
An essential factor to the virulence of the genus Candida is the ability to produce enzymes and this may be crucial in the establishment of fungal infections. Aim: This study investigated in vitro enzymatic activities of Candida species and their virulence in an in vivo Galleria mellonella experimental model. Methods: Twenty-four clinical strains of Candida spp. isolated from the human oral cav...
