Evaluation of Immobilization of Selected Peat-Isolated Yeast Strains of the Species Candida albicans and Candida subhashii on the Surface of Artificial Support Materials Used for Biotrickling Filtration
PublikacjaThe paper describes the process of n-butanol abatement by unicellular fungi, able to deplete n-butanol content in gas, by using n-butanol as source of carbon. Isolated and identified fungi species Candida albicans and Candida subhashii were subjected to a viability process via assimilation of carbon from hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. The isolates, which exhibited the ability to assimilate carbon, were immobilized on four...

Virulence, antifungal susceptibility and molecular mechanisms of echinocandin resistance among Candida isolates recovered from clinical specimens
PublikacjaFungi of the genus Candida belong to the natural microflora of healthy individuals. However, they can also be a cause of opportunistic infections especially among patients with an impaired immune system. The first line therapy of Candida infections is based on triazoles. However, in recent years there an increase of azole resistant Candida spp., in particular C. glabrata and C. krusei, has been observed. For this reason, echinocandin...

WIELOLEKOOPORNE ZAKAŻENIA CANDIDA - PROBLEM XXI WIEKU!
PublikacjaW ostatnich latach obserwuje się dramatyczny wzrost zakażeń grzybiczych, których przyczyną są grzyby z rodzaju Candida (C). Większość zakażeń wywoływana jest przez C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis i C. tropicalis. Dotychczas najczęściej stosowanymi lekami przeciwko Candida spp były azole, jednakże ze względu na występowanie naturalnej oporności na te antybiotyki (C. glabrata i C. krusei) coraz częściej azole...

Phenotypic consequences of LYS4 gene disruption in Candida albicans
PublikacjaA BLAST search of the Candida Genome Database with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYS4 sequence known to encode homoaconitase (HA) revealed ORFs 19.3846 and 19.11327. Both alleles of the LYS4 gene were sequentially disrupted in Candida albicans BWP17 cells using PCR-based methodology. The null lys4Δ mutant exhibited lysine auxotrophy in minimal medium but was able to grow in the presence of L-Lys and α-aminoadipate, an intermediate...

Phenotypic consequences of the LYS4 gene disruption in Candida albicans
PublikacjaThe main scientific purpose of our studies was to verify the hypothesis that homoaconitase (HA) from Candida albicans, an enzyme catalyzing a second step of the α-aminoadipate pathway (AAP) of L-Lys biosynthesis may become a new target for antifungal chemotherapy. Previous studies indicated that the A. fumigatus mutant lacking the functional lysF gene, encoding HA, exhibited attenuated virulence in a low-dose mouse infection model...

Versatility of putative aromatic aminotransferases from Candida albicans.
PublikacjaAmino acids constitute the key sources of nitrogen for growth of Candida albicans. In order to survive inside the host in different and rapidly changing environments, this fungus must be able to adapt via its expression of genes for amino acid metabolism. We analysed the ARO8, ARO9, YER152C, and BNA3 genes with regards to their role in the nutritional flexibility of C. albicans. CaAro8p is undoubtedly the most versatile enzyme...

Characterization of recombinant homocitrate synthase from Candida albicans
PublikacjaLYS21 and LYS22 genes from Candida albicans encoding isoforms of homocitrate synthase (HCS), an enzyme catalyzing the first committed step in the L-lysine biosynthetic pathway, were cloned and expressed as NoligoHistagged fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. The purified gene products revealed HCS activity, i.e. catalyzed the condensation of α-ketoglutarate with acetyl-coenzyme A to yield homocitrate. The recombinant enzymes were purified...

A nosocomial outbreak of Candida parapsilosis in southern Sweden verified by genotyping
PublikacjaIn a haematology ward, Candida parapsilosis was found in blood cultures from 4 patients within a month. As C. parapsilosis is known to have a restricted genetic diversity, a combined methodological approach was adopted to establish a possible epidemiological relationship among the isolates (n = 9). Multilocus sequence typing and random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis suggested a clonal origin of the isolates. The clonal origin...

KONSTRUKCJA AUKSOTROFICZNEGO WZGLĘDEM L-LIZYNY SZCZEPU CANDIDA ALBICANS
PublikacjaEnzymy szlaku kwasu L-α-aminoadypinowego biosyntezy L-lizyny z Candida albicans są potencjalnymi celami molekularnymi w terapii przeciwgrzybowej. Niektóre grupy badawcze wykazały, że auksotrofia wobec L-lizyny u pewnych gatunków grzybów powoduje zmniejszenie ich zjadliwości i może mieć wpływ na wzrost in vivo [Liebmann i in. 2004]. Oznacza to, że można się spodziewać zahamowania wzrostu komórek grzybowych w wyniku działania selektywnych...

Typing of Candida isolates from patients with invasive infection and concomitant colonization
PublikacjaWe investigated the relationship between colonizing and invasive isolates from patients with candidaemia. Molecular typing was performed using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). We found MLST to be sufficient for typing Candida isolates, and that surveillance cultures are helpful in predicting concomitant invasive isolates, but not necessarily the pathogen involved in subsequent...

Transport deficiency is the molecular basis of Candida albicans resistance to antifungal oligopeptides
Publikacja(FMDP), an inhibitor of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, exhibited growth inhibitory activity against Candida albicans, with minimal inhibitory concentration values in the 0.05–50 mg/L range. Uptake by the peptide permeases was found to be the main factor limiting an anticandidal activity of these compounds. Di- and tripeptide containing FMDP (F2 and F3) were transported by Ptr2p/Ptr22p peptide transporters (PTR) and FMDP-containing...

Mechanisms of azole resistance among clinical isolates of Candida glabrata in Poland
PublikacjaCandida glabrata is currently ranked as the second most frequently isolated aetiological agent of human fungal infections, next only to Candida albicans. In comparison with C. albicans, C. glabrata shows lower susceptibility to azoles, the most common agents used in treatment of fungal infections. Interestingly, the mechanisms of resistance to azole agents in C. albicans have been much better investigated than those in C. glabrata....
