To evaluate and compare the outcomes of Candida- and non-Candida-associated aortic graft infections....
We retrospectively analyzed the data from patients treated for aortic graft infection from 2015 to 2021 in our hospital....
A total of 66 patients (56 men; median age, 69 years; range, 50-87 years) were admitted with aortic graft infection, including 21 (32%) patients in the Candida group and 45 (68%) in the non-Candida gr...
Patients with bacterial and fungal aortic graft infections have high rates of morbidity and mortality. We found no significant differences in postoperative morbidity and mortality between Candida and ...
Rezafungin, a new echinocandin with an extended half-life, exhibits potent activity against Candida spp. Aside from the MIC, specific interactions between antifungal and isolate, including the duratio...
The peptide transport (PTR) or proton-dependent oligopeptide transporter (POT) family exploits the inwardly directed proton motive force to facilitate the cellular uptake of di/tripeptides. Interestin...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with immune system dysfunction and makes patients vulnerable to opportunistic infections. This report presents a patient with a history of COVID-19, s...
We reported a 64-year-old man complaining of progressive visual loss in his left eye, who had previously been hospitalized for three weeks due to COVID-19. In the ophthalmologic assessment, large foci...
In patients with severe COVID-19, long-term ICU admission and immunosuppressive drugs lead to immune system dysfunction and make the patient more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Consequently,...
Candida auris is a nosocomial fungal pathogen of prime importance due to its global emergence and rapid spread in healthcare facilities worldwide. One important concern is that routine, conventional m...
While the fungus Candida albicans is a common colonizer of healthy humans, it is also responsible for mucosal infections and severe invasive disease. Understanding the mechanisms that allow C. albican...
Revealing the phylogenetic relationships of Candida krusei strains (sexual form Pichia kudriavzevii) is a prerequisite for understanding the evolution of its virulence-associated mechanisms and ecolog...
Invasive candidiasis and candidemia remain a significant public health concern. The European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) conducted three pan-European multicentre studies from 1997 to 2022...
Although Candida albicans is the most frequent etiological agent of candidiasis, it has been reported a sizable number of infections related to the non-albicans Candida (NAC) species, Candida krusei. ...
The effect of PDT was observed on the metabolic activity of mature dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida krusei by a metabolic assay based on the reduction of XTT (2,3-bis(2‑methoxy-4-...
it was observed a reduction of ∼30% in the metabolic activity of a mature biofilm treated with PDT, using 0.05 mg·mL...
These results demonstrated the efficiency of PDT in inhibiting the dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida krusei by reducing C. albicans development....
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...
