Unravelling the role of Candida albicans secreted alcohols in the cross : talk with Candida parapsilosis

Description : The success of Candida species as pathogens is attributed to survival strategies such as the ability to form biofilms. In fact, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis are frequently isolated solely or within mixed cultures from implanted devices and natural environments. Nevertheless, interaction...

Headspace - SPME as a screening system for yeast metabolic compounds : a case study

Description : Aim: This study aimed to identify and quantify the fusel alcohols secreted by the opportunistic yeasts Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to further get insights into the amino acid catabolism of those two organisms. Methods and Results: Fusel alcohols were screened in cell - free supernatant...

Reduction of Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion to indwelling medical devices : a simple procedure

Description : The present study aims to find a method to reduce Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion to acrylic and silicone – two materials used commonly in medical devices – by heparin and gentian violet surface preconditioning. Different periods of heparin preconditioning are studied to evaluate the influence o...

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

Description :

Abstract

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 m...

An in vitro evaluation of Candida tropicalis infectivity using human cell monolayers

Description : The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction ofCandida tropicalis with three different human cell lines: TCC-SUP (epithelial cells from urinary bladder); HeLa (epithelial cells from cervical carcinoma); Caco-2 (epithelial cells from colorectal adenocarcinoma). In particular to ass...

Role of extracellular DNA in Candida albicans biofilms

Description : DNA has been described as a structural component of the extracellular matrix in bacterial biofilms. However, in Candida albicans there is a scarce knowledge concerning the contribution of extracellular DNA (ecDNA) to biofilm matrix and overall structure. The main objective of this work was to examin...
