      Vulvovaginal and invasive candidiasis are frequent conditions in immunosuppressed individuals caused by Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida spp. Fluconazole and Amphotericin B are the main drugs used to fight the ...

    • Biofilm production and evaluation of antifungal susceptibility amongst clinical Candida spp. isolates, including strains of the Candida parapsilosis complex 

      Melo, Analy Salles de Azevedo [UNIFESP]; Bizerra, Fernando Cesar [UNIFESP]; Freymüller-Haapalainen, Edna [UNIFESP]; Arthington-Skaggs, Beth A.; Colombo, Arnaldo Lopes [UNIFESP] (Informa Healthcare, 2011-04-01)
      Candida cells can form biofilms that frequently are sources of infections and are less susceptible to antifungal drugs. Some authors have reported that Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis isolates are not able ...

    • Candida dubliniensis identification in Brazilian yeast stock collection 

      Mariano, Priscilla de Laet Sant'ana [UNIFESP]; Milan, Eveline Pípolo [UNIFESP]; Matta, Daniel Archimedes da [UNIFESP]; Colombo, Arnaldo Lopes [UNIFESP] (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2003-06-01)
      We investigated the presence of Candida dubliniensis among isolates previously identified as Candida albicans and maintained in a yeast stock collection from 1994 to 2000. All isolates were serotyped and further evaluated ...

    • Genetic diversity of medically important and emerging Candida species causing invasive infection 

      Merseguel, Karina Bellinghausen [UNIFESP]; Nishikaku, Angela Satie [UNIFESP]; Rodrigues, Anderson Messias [UNIFESP]; Padovan, Ana Carolina [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Renata Carmona [UNIFESP]; Melo, Analy Salles de Azevedo [UNIFESP]; Briones, Marcelo Ribeiro da Silva [UNIFESP]; Colombo, Arnaldo Lopes [UNIFESP] (Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-02-13)
      Background: Genetic variation in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been studied among fungi. However, the numbers of ITS sequence polymorphisms in the various Candida species and their ...
