The cell wall is essential to nearly every aspect of the biology and pathogenicity of Candida
albicans. Although it was intially considered an almost inert cellular structure that protected …

Airborne fungal spores occur widely and often in far greater concentrations than pollen
grains. Immunoglobulin E-specific antigens (allergens) on airborne fungal spores induce …

The incidence of invasive fungal infections has increased dramatically in recent decades,
especially among immunocompromised patients. However, the diagnosis of these infections …

The cell wall of Candida albicans not only is the structure in which many biological functions
essential for the fungal cells reside but also is a significant source of candidal antigens. The …

The two moulds, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium herbarum, are recognized as major
causes of fungal allergies. Cloning, sequencing and heterologous expression of the …

Host resistance against infections caused by the yeast Candida albicans is mediated
predominantly by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages. Antigens of Candida …

We compared the specificities and sensitivities of four tests used for the serodiagnosis of
candidemia in 39 patients with candidemia, including 10 patients with superficial Candida …

Candida albicans were isolated from patients with clinical symptoms of vaginal ulcer.

Growth-subinhibitory nonlytic doses of cilofungin (a lipopeptide antibiotic affecting (1, 3)-β-d-
glucan synthesis) inhibited the incorporation of 46-to 48-kDa glucan-associated (46K) …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that continues to be a leading
cause of candidal infections in immunocompromised hosts. Enolase, an important glycolytic …
