Candida dubliniensis versus Candida albicans : adhesion and biofilm formation

Author(s) : Henriques, Mariana
Description : Candida species are opportunistic yeasts that colonize the human body. Among the more well known and more virulent is Candida albicans. Although for several years, until 1995, another species, Candida dubliniensis, was mismatched with that one. Both Candida species possess similar phenotypic and gen...

Experimental methodology to quantify candida albicans cell surface hydrophobicity

Description : A new method of formation of yeast cell lawns for contact angle measurement (with water, formamide and 1-bromonaphthalene) is described. The cell lawns were formed on agar layers avoiding liquid penetration. The method was validated by comparing the hydrophobicity of Candida albicans grown at differ...

Mini-review : antimicrobial central venous catheters : recent advances and strategies

Description : Central venous catheters (CVCs) nowadays constitute critical devices used in medical care, namely in intensive care units. However, CVCs also represent one of the indwelling medical devices with enhanced risk of nosocomial device-related infection. Catheter-related infections (CRIs) are a major caus...

Adhesion of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to acrylic and hydroxyapatite

Description : The aim of this work was to compare the ability of strains of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to adhere to acrylic and hydroxyapatite (HAP). In order to interpret the adhesion results, the surface properties of cells and materials were determined. Surface tension components (polar and apol...

Extraction of exopolymers from biofilms : the protective effect of glutaraldehyde

Description : The extraction of the exopolymeric matrix is a prerequisite to properly assessing the composition of the biofilm. Several extraction methods have already been developed, however, no universal method has yet been adopted because the compromise between high yields of extraction and minimum cell lysis ...

Candida albicans virulence and drug-resistance requires the O-acyltransferase Gup1p

Description : Background GUP1 gene was primarily identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae being connected with glycerol uptake defects in association with osmotic stress response. Soon after, Gup1p was implicated in a complex and extensive series of phenotypes involving major cellular processes. These include membr...
