The aim of the work was the early detection of Candida spp. in clinical samples of patients with carcinoma ovariorum undergoing chemotherapy by comparing three indicators of candidiasis: presence of mannan and yeast DNA in the bloodstream and colonization of mucosal membranes by Candida species as a prognostic marker of deep candidiasis. Thirty-one women with carcinoma ovariorum, during chemotherapy...
Candida sp. may be regarded as one of the leading etiologic agents of hospital-acquired infections, including those related with the indwelling medical devices, which become colonized by the yeasts, accompanied by biofilm formation. In this paper we assayed in vitro susceptibility to caspofungin of planktonic and sessile cells of nasopharyngeal isolates of Candida sp. Two types of biomaterials were...
Yeast-like fungi are the most common cause of fungal infections in humans. Actually, in the age of opportunistic infections and increasing resistance, development of modern antifungal agents becomes a very important challenge. This paper describes synthesis and antimicrobial assay of four naturally occurring peptide antibiotics (aurein 1.2, citropin 1.1, temporin A, uperin 3.6) and three chemically...
Twenty-five yeast cultures, mainly of human origin, belonging to four pathogenic yeast species - Candida albicans, Candida krvsei, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis were tested for their sensitivity to ten basidiomycetous and eleven ascomycetous yeast species isolated from the water and soil environments and from tree leaves. The best killer activity among basidiomycetous species was exhibited...
Vaginal candidiasis is a common problem of clinical practice. Many studies have been conducted to explain its origin but only a few have included Polish women. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and similarity of oral, anal and vaginal Candida albicans strains isolated from Polish women with vaginal candidiasis. The study involved 20 from 37 recruited women. Swab samples were collected...
