Real-time assessment of Candida biofilm formation
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Background: Candida infections are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly when the Candida biofilm is composed of drug-resistant species. Although the biofilm formation ...
Proteomics of drug-resistant HIV-associated candidiasis
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Candidiasis and HIV co-infection may cause increased patient morbidity and mortality due to oropharyngeal or systemic dissemination. Limited information exists on the prevalence, antifungal susceptibility profiles and drug ...
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) oral Candida species isolated from HIV-positive patients in South Africa and Cameroon
(Elsevier, 2014)
Candida species are a common cause of infection in immune-compromised HIV-positive individuals, who are usually treated with the antifungal drug, fluconazole in public hospitals in Africa. However, information about the ...
HPLC-MS identification and expression of Candida drug-resistance proteins from African HIV-infected patients
(AIMS Press, 2021-09-10)
The objective of this study was to elucidate the proteomic mechanisms of drug resistance in HIV-infected African patients. Cell membrane fractions from forty oral Candida isolates isolated from African HIV-positive patients ...
Real-time assessment of interspecies candida biofilm formation
(Bentham Open, 2022-12-30)
Background:
Candida infections are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, with Candida having the ability to form highly structured biofilms that protect them from the external ...
Insights into the Prevalence and Resistance Patterns of Candida Species among Diabetic Patients in Cameroon: Potential Paths for Alternative Treatments
(Science and Education Publishing, 2024-05-06)
The study aimed to fill the knowledge gap regarding the prevalence of Candida infections in diabetic patients and their sensitivity to antifungal drugs. Clinical samples from diabetic patients were collected at Yaoundé ...
