Yeast-mycelial conversion induced by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in Candida albicans

There is chemical, cytochemical and ultrastructural evidence that the differences between Y and M walls of C. albicans are essentially quantitative, strongly suggesting that hyphal conversion in this yeast is controlled by the modulation of pre-existing enzymatic activities rather than by any new factors.

Antifungal activity of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil against Candida albicans yeast and mycelial form.

Lavender oil shows both fungistatic and fungicidal activity against C. albicans dimorphism and may thus reduce fungal progression and the spread of infection in host tissues.

Effect of Propolis on Virulence Factors of Candida albicans

No clear effect was shown on adherence to buccal epithelial cells and surface structure hydrophobicity, but damage to the plasma membrane structure was demonstrated with the Propidium Iodide test, and a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of phospholipase activity.

Anticandidal activity of SPA-S-843, a new polyenic drug.

The activity of a new, soluble and stable polyene (SPA-S-843) against Candida albicans was assessed by contact and culture tests and by inhibition of germ-tube formation. The drug demonstrated a…

Ultrastructural changes in the wall during germ-tube formation from blastospores of Candida albicans.

The wall of a blastospore of Candida albicans is organized in a multilayer structure with amorphous, granular and fibrous components of various electron densities, and some data suggested that the electron-transparent layer that developed during germ-tube formation was rich in chitin.

In Vitro Activity of Tea Tree Oil Against Candida albicans Mycelial Conversion and Other Pathogenic Fungi

Results suggest Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil may be suitable for topical therapeutic use in the treatment of fungal mucosal and cutaneous infections, if considered along with the lipophilic nature of the oil which enables it to penetrate the skin.
