Cerebral shunt

Common microbial agents for shunt infection include Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.

Circumcision

Yeasts, especially Candida albicans, are the most common penile infection and are rarely identified in samples taken from circumcised males.

Complications of pregnancy

Because of this, blood-borne microorganisms (Hepatitis B, HIV), organisms associated with sexually transmitted disease (e.g., Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia), and normal fauna of the genito-urinary tract (e.g., Candida) are among those commonly seen in infection of newborns.

Costochondritis

Most cases of infectious costochondritis are caused by Actinomyces, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Salmonella.

1) the role of mating and switching in the pathogenesis of Candida albicans,

Elizabeth Lee Hazen

She would expose the organisms against two fungi, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans.

Fungemia

The most commonly known pathogen is Candida albicans, causing roughly 70% of fungemias, followed by Candida glabrata with 10%, Aspergillus with 1% and Saccharomyces as the fourth most common.

Geastrum fornicatum

Methanol extracts of G. fornicatum were shown to be inhibitory to the growth of various bacteria that are pathogenic to humans, including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as the fungi Candida albicans, Rhodotorula rubra, and Kluyveromyces fragilis.

Histidine kinase

A two-component system, involving histidine kinase and a variable response regulator protein, may be critical to the virulence of some fungal strains such as Candida albicans, which is often responsible for causing candidiasis in immunocompromised persons.

Isocitrate lyase

This is the case for fungi such as Candida albicans, which inhabits the skin, mouth, GI tract, gut and vagina of mammals and can lead to systemic infections of immunocompromised patients; as well as for the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the major causative agent of tuberculosis.

Karyogamy

One example is Candida albicans, a fungus that lives in the gastrointestinal tracts of many warm blooded animals, including humans.

Leptospermum petersonii

The essential oil from L.petersonii inhibits the pathological fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus.

Monilia

Candida albicans, a pathogenic yeast in humans and other mammals

Myeloperoxidase deficiency

Although MPO deficiency classically presents with immune deficiency (especially candida albicans infections), the majority of individuals with MPO deficiency show no signs of immunodeficiency.

Neutrophil extracellular traps

More recently, it has also been shown that not only bacteria but also pathogenic fungi such as Candida albicans induces neutrophils to form NETs that capture and kill C. albicans hyphal as well as yeast-form cells.

Pap test

Endocervical and endometrial abnormalities can also be detected, as can a number of infectious processes, including yeast, herpes simplex virus and trichomoniasis.

Phenotypic switching

An example is Candida albicans, which, when it infects host tissue, switches from the usual unicellular yeast-like form into an invasive, multicellular filamentous form.

Polygala myrtifolia

Research conducted by the University of Natal found that aqueous extracts of P. myrtifolia proved effective against Candida albicans.

Pseudowintera

Polygodial has been tested as a very effective inhibitor of Candida albicans.

Salvia aegyptiaca

Its non-polar extracts have been tested as antimicrobial and these presented inhibitory activity against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.

Thymus pannonicus

The antimicrobial activity of essential oil was evaluated using the agar disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, two strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and two strains of Candida albicans.

Winter savory

Therapeutic-grade oil has been determined to inhibit growth of Candida albicans.
