Candidiasis is a common infection of the skin, oral cavity and esophagus, gastrointestinal
tract, vagina and vascular system of humans. Although most infections occur in patients who …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, in immunocompromised patients …

A model system for studying Candida biofilms growing on the surface of small discs of
catheter material is described. Biofilm formation was determined quantitatively by a …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that causes candidiasis. As
healthcare has been improved worldwide, the number of immunocompromised patients has …

Two model biofilm systems, involving growth on disks of catheter material or on cylindrical
cellulose filters, were used to investigate the structure of Candida albicans biofilms. To …

Most strains of Candida albicans are capable of switching frequently and reversibly between
a number of phenotypes distinguishable by colony morphology. A number of different …

SUMMARY DNA fingerprinting methods have evolved as major tools in fungal
epidemiology. However, no single method has emerged as the method of choice, and some …

Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus that causes severe opportunistic infections in
humans. Recent advances in molecular biology techniques applied to this organism …

Candida albicans and related species live as benign commensals in one or more body
locations in a majority of healthy individuals. As opportunistic pathogens, they are poised to …

Exploring breakthroughs in fungal detection and control, this book covers fungal
nomenclature, population instability, and phylogeny, as well as investigative research on …
