Adherence of Candida species to host tissues and nonbiologic materials has been studied
in vivo and in vitro. Attachment of Candida albicans to mucosal cells, fibrin-platelet matrices …

The role of adhesion in the pathogenesis of many microbial infections is now widely
recognized, and much of the current research on adhesion mechanisms at the molecular …

Adherence of Candida albicans yeast cells to mammalian cells in vitro is promoted by a cell-
surface adhesin that is probably a mannan or a mannoprotein. This observation is based on …

To elucidate the pathogenesis of hematogenous Candida infections, we developed an in
vitro model of Candida adherence to and penetration of human endothelial cells. We …

To study the possible involvement of candidal adherence in mucosal colonization, we
examined the in vitro adherence capabilities of seven Candida species. Adherence was …

Candida infections are becoming increasingly important in compromised hosts. The
pathogenic Candida species vary in their ability to adhere to mucosal and other surfaces …

Candida albicans is commonly found residing in the oral cavity, gastrointestinal (GI) tract,
and female genital tract of humans (197). The yeast is usually commensal, but in …

Factors that may influence adherence of Candida albicans to exfoliated human vaginal and
buccal epithelial cells were studied in vitro. Factors that enhanced germination enhanced …

Materials and Methods Adherence assay. C. albicans strain CBS-562 was used throughout
the study for adherence assays. The culture was maintained and grown and adherence tests …

This is the first book ever to be published on this topic! Comprehensively packed with up-to-
date research information, this volume is written with both the beginner and the established …
