Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model System To Assess Candida glabrata, Candida nivariensis, and Candida bracarensis Virulence and Antifungal Efficacy
(American Society for Microbiology (ASM), 2020-09-21)
Although Candida albicans remains the major etiological agent of invasive
candidiasis, Candida glabrata and other emerging species of Candida are
increasingly isolated. This species is the second most prevalent cause of ...
Postantifungal Effect of Micafungin against the Species Complexes of Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis
(Public Library Science, 2015-07-13)
Micafungin is an effective antifungal agent useful for the therapy of invasive candidiasis. Candida albicans is the most common cause of invasive candidiasis; however, infections due to non-C. albicans species, such as ...
Prevalence and antifungal susceptibility profiles of Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and their close-related species in oral candidiasis
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Objective: To evaluate the importance of Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and their close-related species, Candida bracarensis, Candida nivariensis, Candida metapsilosis and Candida orthopsilosis in patients with ...
Lifelong treatment with atenolol decreases membrane fatty acid unsaturation and oxidative stress in heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria and improves immunity and behavior, without changing mice longevity
(Wiley, 2014)
The membrane fatty acid unsaturation hypothesis of aging and longevity is experimentally tested for the first time in mammals. Lifelong treatment of mice with the β1-blocker atenolol increased the amount of the ...
Epidemiological and molecular analysis of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates causing invasive disease in Spain (1998-2009): comparison with non-invasive isolates
(Springer, 2011-10-01)
The incidence, clinical manifestations, and circulating clones involved in Streptococcus pyogenes invasive disease was analyzed in two regions of Spain between 1998 and 2009. The annual average incidence of invasive disease ...
Utility of two PCR-RFLP-based techniques for identification of Candida parapsilosis complex blood isolates
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-05)
Background: Candida parapsilosis is the second or third most frequently isolated
Candida species related to nosocomial infections, even overtaking Candida albicans
in some hospitals. C. parapsilosis constitutes a complex ...
Microglial immune response is impaired against the neurotropic fungus Lomentospora prolificans
(Wiley, 2018-03-26)
Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. The fungus is able to disseminate via the bloodstream finally arriving at the central ...
Scedosporium and Lomentospora: an updated overview of underrated opportunists
(Oxford University Press, 2018-04-01)
Species of Scedosporium and Lomentospora are considered as emerging opportunists, affecting immunosuppressed and otherwise debilitated patients, although classically they are known from causing trauma-associated infections ...
