    Keywords : Anti-Candida antibodies; bone marrow transplantation; Candida antigen; Candida immunology; candidosis diagnosis; children; infantile diarrhoea; leukaemia; liver transplantation; risk factors.;

    Abstract : Objective: Deep Candida infection (DCI) is a serious complication with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. The following studies (I, II, III, IV and V) were designed to investigate the relationship between infantile diarrhoea and faecal occurrence of Candida spp. READ MORE

  4. 2. Urogenital probiotics : potential role of Lactobacillus in the prevention of urogenital infections in women

    Author : Daniel Rönnqvist; Eva Essum AB Grahn Håkansson; Ulla SCA Hygiene Care Forsgren-Brusk; Anders Sjöstedt; Patricia Conway; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lactobacillus; normal flora; probiotics; urogenital infections; Candida; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : The human vaginal ecosystem is dominated by Lactobacillus species. An altered vaginal flora can result in symptomatic conditions such as bacterial vaginosis and vulvo-vaginal candidiasis, and urogenital colonisation by uropathogenic bacteria can cause urinary tract infection.

    Abstract : Pharmacodynamic studies are important for the optimal use of antimicrobial agents. Combination antifungal therapy may be one method to improve outcome in invasive Candida infections. READ MORE

  6. 4. Candida albicans adaption to host microenvironments drives immune evasion

    Author : José Pedro Lopes; Constantin F. Urban; Alistair Brown; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fungi; candida albicans; neutrophils; mast cells; immune evasion; mycoses; infectious diseases; immunologi; Immunology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : Immunosuppressed patients are frequently afflicted with severe mycoses caused by opportunistic fungal pathogens. Besides being a commensal colonizing predominantly skin and mucosal surfaces, Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genome dynamics and virulence in the human pathogen Candida glabrata

    Author : Khadija Mohamed Ahmad; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pathogenic yeast; Candida glabrata; small chromosomes; Genome rearrangement; Haploid and diploid yeast; RNA interference.;

    Abstract : Although the yeast Candida glabrata is considered to be a part of the commensal microflora in healthy individuals, during the last years it has been frequently isolated from patients with mucosal and systemic fungal infections. Now it is considered as the second most frequently isolated pathogenic yeast after Candida albicans. Despite its name, C. READ MORE
