Expression of plasma coagulase among pathogenic Candida species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Angular Chelitis in Complete Dentures
Purpose: Dentures may act as a reservoir for most of the pathogens and ulcers caused due to dentures harbour the same number of bacterial colonies. The main aim of this study is to assess the Candida albicans in complete denture wearers with angular chelitis. Though Candida albicans is the predominant pathogen in angular chelitis , other species may be present which are equally pathogenic. Mate...
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...

In this research, the antimicrobial effects of ethanolic, methanolic and aqueous extracts obtained from aerial parts, leaves and bulbs of six species of Fessia were investigated on the growth of some of micro-organisms, including Staphyloccocus aureus, Bacillus anthracis, Kelebsiella pneumonia and Candida albicans. Plant samples were collected from natural habitats and were then identified. The...

Five bacterial species considered to be potential pathogens in acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, and pneumonia-Branhamella catarrhalis, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae-were evaluated for their potential to synthesise histamine in vitro. Bacterial species commonly isolated from infected sputum but ge...
