the aim of this study was to analyse polar lipids of candida species isolated from ahwaz (iran) by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (fab ms). nine isolates of candida sp. were identified by growth at 45°c, production of chlamydoconidia on cornmeal agar, colonial colour on chromagar candida, germ tube production and id 32c kits. then polar lipids were extracted from freeze-dried cultures ...

A study was undertaken to find out the incidence of fungal mastitis in cattle. Out of 200 clinical cases of mastitis, 17 (8.5 %) were found to have been caused by fungi and 9 (4.5%) were identified to be mixed infection of fungi and bacteria. The yeast and yeast like fungi isolated were Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida guillermondii, Geotrichum candidum, Trichosporon cutaneum, ...

Interest in Candida species as a cause of hospital-associated infection is currently outstripped only by the recent focus on coagulase-negative staphylococci as significant nosocomial pathogens. Once considered little more than saprophytic nuisances, Candida sp. have assumed a progressively important role as hospital-associated pathogens. Coincident with the advent of effective, broad-spectrum ...

The study was carried out to isolate and select useful thermophilic yeast strains in the process of organic domestic waste treatment Phu Luong - Thai Nguyen. Research results from 23 samples rust have isolated 10 on YPG medium at 40 oC. Among them, 6 were selected with ability grow develop a wide temperature range 20-45 identification combined morphological, physiological, biochemical character...

OBJECTIVE(S) The ongoing increasing antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges faced by global public health. The perennial need for new antimicrobials against a background of increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms obliges the scientific community to constantly develop new drugs and antimicrobial agents. Lichens are known prolific sources of ...

BACKGROUND Candida species (sp) is implicated in causing opportunistic disseminated mycotic complications in stage II HIV patients. Cleistopholis patens is a West African medicinal tree reported to have significant antifungal activity against C. albicans. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the anti-candidal activity of methanolic leaf extract of Cleistopholis patens against Candida spec...

The etiology of the diarrheic process in AIDS may be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa or helminths, as well as HIV itself. This study evaluated enteropathogens relating to diarrhea in HIV patients who were on antiretroviral therapy. The parasitological methods used were Faust, Hoffmann and Kinyoun. Isolation and culturing of fungi were carried out in accordance with the methodology ...
