Characterization of gene family that mediates the adhesion of biofilms formed by Candida tropicalis isolated from HIV and non-HIV patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Candida tropicalis is an important cause of candidemia in immunocompromised patients. Biofilm formation helps the organism to establish infection. Agglutinin like sequence (ALS) genes encodes glycoproteins which are important adhesins. This study was done to detect the presence of ALS genes by PCR in C.tropicalis strains isolated from HIV and non-HIV patients in comparison with biofilm formation.

Oropharyngeal candidiasis in HIV/AIDS patients and non-HIV subjects in the Southeast of Iran
Background and Purpose: Candida species are the common opportunistic pathogens during the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) is generally known as the initial sign of HIV infection. The aim of this study was to compare demographic characteristics and frequency of Candida species between HIV/AIDS patients and non-HIV subjects in Kerman, southe...
متن کاملFrequency of Candida species isolated from the Oral Cavity of HIV-Infected Patients referring to Behavioral disease Counseling Center of Isfahan in 2017-2018
Background and Aim: patients infected with HIV are susceptible to opportunistic infections such as candidiasis. In normal individuals, Candida spp. exist as normal flora of the mucous membranes. In this study we compared the frequencies of different species of Candida between HIV infected patients receiving anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and normal individuals. Materials and Methods: This case...
متن کاملEffect of Eugenol on Cell Surface Hydrophobicity, Adhesion, and Biofilm of Candida tropicalis and Candida dubliniensis Isolated from Oral Cavity of HIV-Infected Patients
Most Candida spp. infections are associated with biofilm formation on host surfaces. Cells within these communities display a phenotype resistant to antimicrobials and host defenses, so biofilm-associated infections are difficult to treat, representing a source of reinfections. The present study evaluated the effect of eugenol on the adherence properties and biofilm formation capacity of Candid...
