Candida albicans, C. dubliniensis, and C. africana form the Candida albicans complex....
To identify the phenotypic and pathogenic characteristics of isolates of the C. albicans complex preserved in a collection....
Three hundred presumptive strains of the C. albicans complex were evaluated using CHROMagarTM Candida. Germ tube production was determined by three methods, chlamydospores formation was assessed and c...
Out of the 300 isolates, 43.7% produced germ tube in the heart-brain infusion broth and 47% of the isolates produced chlamydospores. In the artisan media, 6% of the isolates produced brown colonies on...
The use of proteomics, molecular tests or a combination of methods is required for species identification....
This research evaluated the anti-Candida albicans effect of Mexican propolis from Chihuahua. Chemical composition of the ethanolic extract of propolis was determined by GC-MS, HPLC-DAD, and HPLC-MS. T...
The anti-Candida activity of propolis was determined. The inhibitions halos were between 10.0 to 11.8 mm; 25% minimum inhibitory concentration (0.5 mg/ml) was fungistatic, and 50% minimum inhibitory c...
Given the properties demonstrated for Chihuahua propolis, we propose that it is a candidate to be considered as an ideal antifungal agent to help treat this infection since it would not have the toxic...
This study aimed to determine the impact of low levels of alcohol consumption on the interaction of the oral cavity with Candida albicans, a species that is commonly found at higher levels in the oral...
The gingival squamous cell carcinoma cell line, Ca9-22, was subjected to low-level ethanol exposure before co-culture with heat-inactivated C. albicans (HICA). We performed cell viability assays, meas...
The results showed that ethanol in combination with HICA exacerbated cell death and cell cycle disruption, delayed NF-κB signaling, increased TIMP-2 secretion, and subsequently decreased MMP-2 secreti...
Low levels of ethanol may provide protective effects against Candida-induced inflammatory oral carcinogenesis or OC progression....
We report two cases of fungal endophthalmitis induced by Candida species identified based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) sequencing....
In two cases, endophthalmitis was suspected, and the patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Case 1 was a 64-year-old woman with a history of cataract surgery 10 days prior. She had a history of ana...
We present two cases of fungal endophthalmitis caused by two Candida species identified by both the culture method and ITS1 deep sequencing. The fungal pathogen was identified by ITS deep sequencing t...
Adhesion to dentin is a first step for a successful microbial root canal colonization. Cell hydrophobicity seems to have some influence in the Candida species adhesion to surfaces. To measure cell sur...
adhesion was quantified in function of dentin area covered by blastospores and/or hyphae presence detected by epifluorescence microscope. Cell surface hydrophobicity was estimated by assessing the per...
although there was some intra-species variation in cell surface hydrophobicity, most isolates were characterized by moderate hydrophobicity. There was no significant difference in this parameter when ...
although hydrophobicity can influence Candida albicans virulence in many ways, this study suggests that this parameter by itself was not a good predictor of adhesion to dentin....
Side effects associated with antimicrobial drugs, as well as their high cost, have prompted a search for low-cost herbal medicinal substances with fewer side effects. These substances can be used as s...
In this experimental study, antimicrobial properties were evaluated using microbroth dilution method. The effect of oleuropein on the formation and eradication of biofilm was assessed on 96-well flat ...
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal/bactericidal concentration (MFC/MBC) for oleuropein were found to be 65 mg/ml and 130 mg/ml, respectively. Oleuropein significantly in...
The results indicate that oleuropein has antifungal and antibacterial properties that enable it to inhibit or destroy the formation of fungal and bacterial biofilm....
Menthol, a natural quorum sensing molecule, is derived from the Mentha species. Combating pathogenicity by inactivating quorum sensing is an emerging approach. Therefore, our objective was to investig...
The antifungal properties of menthol were evaluated using a broth microdilution assay and a time-kill assay, and its effects on quorum sensing-mediated virulence factors, cellular reactive oxygen spec...
Quorum sensing-mediated virulence factors and biofilm formation were inhibited by menthol in both C. albicans and C. glabrata. Furthermore, coinciding with elevated ROS levels, mRNAs of the quorum sen...
This study highlights the anti-quorum sensing potential of menthol through the inhibition of quorum sensing-mediated virulence factors, ROS generation, and biofilm development by targeting TUP1, which...
The co-isolation of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans from host tissues and organs and their in vitro and in vivo interaction studies suggest a synergistic relationship in forming polymicrobi...
