Full textAbstract:
For the first time with the use of conventional techniques the overall toxicity and the antimicrobial activity of some new substances - pyridoxine azo derivatives (mercurions), obtained an international registration (CAS, USA) and their zinc-complexes have been studied. St. aureus, E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candia albicans were used as a test cultures. The investigated compounds were established to have low toxicity (LD 50 failed to detect, with a maximum dose of introduced animals as 0.01 g ≈ 20 g), and some of them were shown to have pronounced antimicrobial activity. In contrast to free mercurions their zinc complexes show activity against strains of some microorganisms (St. aureus, Candida albicans), as well as similar antimicrobial activity in the lower (2-4 fold) concentrations.

Full textAbstract:
While the incidence of spondylodiscitis is rising because of longer life expectancy and the increasing use of immunosuppressant drug, indwelling devices and spinal surgeries, the fungal aetiology remains rare, sometimes affecting intravenous drug users. Candida spondylodiscitis is an extremely rare complication post aortic aneurysm repair. It is potentially fatal due to the risk of aneurysm rupture and septic complications. The growing problem of systemic diseases caused by Candida species reflects the enormous increase of patients at risk. The treatment of this complicated entity is challenging and often requiring a multidisciplinary team. We reported the rare case of Candida spondylodiscitis contiguous to infected aortic aneurysm in a 74-year-old male intravenous drug user, to the extent which the vertebral body bony destruction progressed to need one-stage posterior and anterior spinal fusion surgery with curettage. Our surgical intervention combined with prolonged course of antifungal therapy could successfully eradicate the infection and resolve the neurological deficits.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Th17-inducing activity is carried by certain polysaccharides such as ƒÀ-glucan derived from Candia albicans. Our previous studies have shown that Th1- and Th2-inducing activities can be qualitatively evaluated by the expression patterns of Notch ligand isoforms, using human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and some leukemic cell lines. Thus, the Th1- and Th2-inducing activities correlate with the upregulation of Delta4 and Delta1 mRNA, respectively. However, the association of Th17-inducing activities with Notch ligand expression patterns has been unclear. The present study shows that curdlan, one of ƒÀ-glucans, has the ability to induce DC-mediated Th17 differentiation, by using a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) between human monocyte-derived DCs and allogeneic naïve CD4+ T cells. It is also interesting to note that Jagged1 mRNA in DCs is up-regulated by curdlan. Furthermore, polyclonal anti-Jagged1 antibody inhibited such DC-mediated Th17 differentiation. These findings suggest that curdlan induces human DC-mediated Th17 polarization via Jagged1 activation in DCs.

Candida albicans is the most prevalent cause of fungal infections worldwide as a consequence of various triggering environments. Hence, this paper evaluates the prevalence of Candida albican in the cultures of pregnant and non-pregnant women who attended prenatal classes at a medical facility in Oredo, Edo State, Nigeria by collecting200 vaginal swab samples for microbiological examination using standard methods. The pour plate method was used to carry out microbial isolation. Based on their cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics, isolated microorganisms were recognised. The agar dilution technique was used to test antifungal sensitivity. The results showed that the lowest fungal count was 0.6±0.48×103 cfu/g and the highest fungal count was 5.6±0.32×103 cfu/g. Both Candida albicans and non-albicans were among the fungal isolates. In comparison to non-pregnant women (18 %), pregnant women had a percentage frequency of Candida albican of 30.5 %. Age groups 31 to 35 and 41 to 46 showed the highest and lowest frequencies of Candida albicans, respectively, among the pregnant women. Additionally, the age range of 20 to 25 had the highest frequency of Candida albicans among the non-pregnant women, while the age range of 36 to 40 had the lowest frequency. No antifungal resistance was found in any of the Candida albicans isolates to the analytical grades of itraconazole or clotrimazole, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Candidiasis disease caused by the fungus Candida albicans is a health problem in Indonesia. The chronic nature of the disease gets worse if it is accompanied by a fungal infection, which usually goes undiagnosed and untreated. Culture techniques can be used to identify the fungus Candida albicans. Mushroom culture in the laboratory requires a medium containing nutrients such as a carbohydrate source and a nitrogen source for growth. These nutrients can be found in bamboo shoots which contain high carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and crude fiber. So that bamboo shoots can be used as raw material for alternative mushroom growth media. The purpose of this study was to utilize bamboo shoots as a medium for the growth of Candida albicans herbal medicine. This research included collecting bamboo shoots, making rice bran media, inoculation of Candida albicans fungus on bamboo shoots media, and observing fungal growth. Candida albicans fungal colonies were confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic observations. The results showed that the fungus Candida albicans grew on both media, namely Bamboo Shoots Flour Media and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media at 37oC for 48 hours. The conclusion of this study is that bamboo shoots media can be used as a medium for fungal growth. Bamboo shoots media can be used as an alternative medium for synthetic media to grow Candida albican

Full textAbstract:
The cause of primary, recurrent genital candidosis (RGC), that 5 % of the female population was afflicted with, is still unknown. It is not clear whether RGC is a result of reifection or infection recidive caused by Candida sp. The goal of the study is to examine Candida presence in women?s genital and intestinal tract; by resistotypization of the same isolated species of Candida fungi to prove their identity as well as the validity of the stated thesis that endogenous reinfection may be one of the possible causes of RGC. The study included 70 women (T-group) afflicted with primary RGC who, at the moment of the examination, were in the phase of manifest infection. In the control group there were 70 women (C-group) not afflicted with RGC. The microbiological test consisted of the microscopic and culture examination of women?s genital and intestinal material. The Candida species were differentiated according to the germination test and the biochemical activity measured by commercial Candi-Fast-test (Mycoplasma International France) and Vitec-AMS-system (bioMerieux, France). Candi-Fast test examined the sensitivity of Candida species to antymicotics and determined the resistotypes of isolated species. The study did not show statistically significant difference between examined groups in terms of the Candida presence in intestinal tract. The Candida colonization of intestinal mucosa was proved in 24 women (34.28 %) with RGC. Eighteen women (25.71 %) of the control group, had Candida sp. in intestinal tract. The most frequent RGC agent, as well as most frequent colonizer of intestinal mucosa is Candida albicans (C. albicans - RGC - 84.28 %; T-group - intestinal tract - C. albicans - 87.50 %; C-group - intestinal tract - C. albicans - 94.44 %). In 20 women with RGC there was a presence of identical resistotypes of isolated Candida sp. Identical resistotypes of C. albicans was found in 19 women of the test group, in their genital and intestinal tract. Only in one patient it was recorded the same resistance types of C. tropicalis. In four patients Candida species isolated from genital and intestinal material were not identical. In two women with RGC C. albicans on vaginal mucosa was accompanied by C. glabrata in intestinal tract, while in two more women the presence of various resistotypes C. albicans was identified in genital and intestinal tract.

Novel xanthine and imidazolone derivatives were synthesized based on oxazolone derivatives 2a-c as a key intermediate. The corresponding xanthine 3-5 and imidazolone derivatives 6-13 were obtained via reaction of oxazolone derivative 2a-c with 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-e under various conditions. Xanthine compounds 3-5 were obtained by cyclocondensation of 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-c with different oxazolones in glacial acetic acid. Moreover, 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-e were reacted with oxazolones 2a-c in presence of drops of acetic acid under fused condition yielding the imidazolone derivatives 6-13. Furthermore, Schiff base of compounds 14-16 were obtained by condensing 5,6-diaminouracils 1a,b,e with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in acetic acid. The structural identity of the resulting compounds was resolved by IR, 1H-, 13C-NMR and Mass spectral analyses. The novel synthesized compounds were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities. Compounds 3, 6, 13 and 16 displayed the highest activity against Escherichia coli as revealed from the IC50 values (1.8–1.9 µg/mL). The compound 16 displayed a significant antifungal activity against Candia albicans (0.82 µg/mL), Aspergillus flavus (1.2 µg/mL) comparing to authentic antibiotics. From the TEM microgram, the compounds 3, 12, 13 and 16 exhibited a strong deformation to the cellular entities, by interfering with the cell membrane components, causing cytosol leakage, cellular shrinkage and irregularity to the cell shape. In addition, docking study for the most promising antimicrobial tested compounds depicted high binding affinity against acyl carrier protein domain from a fungal type I polyketide synthase (ACP), and Baumannii penicillin- binding protein (PBP). Moreover, compound 12 showed high drug- likeness, and excellent pharmacokinetics, which needs to be in focus for further antimicrobial drug development. The most promising antimicrobial compounds underwent theoretical investigation using DFT calculation.

The incidence of Candida species has increased among females of child bearing age over the years. There has also been an increase in the resistance of these Candida species to the antifungal drugs used to treat them. This study is aimed at detecting the prevalence of Candida species among patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) attending gynecological unit of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. The distribution of pathogenic factors and the antifungal resistance pattern of the isolates were also determined. A total of 61 subjects of different ages and socioeconomic status attending the health facility were enrolled in this study. Samples of high vaginal swab (HVS) were collected from each of the participant and screened. A total of 36 candidal isolates were recovered from the samples out of which 11 (30.5%) were predominantly Candida albican, 5 (13.9%) Candida krusei, 4 (11.1%) Candida glabrata, 2 (5.6%) Candida tropicalis and 14 (38.9%) were not identified beyond the genus level. Ten (27.8%) of the isolates were not able to produce biofilm. Out of those that produce biofilm 17 (47.2%) produced weak biofilm, 5 (8.2%) produced moderate biofilm, while 4 (11.1%) produced strong biofilm. Spectrophotometer was used to quantify those that produce biofilm 9 (25%) produced moderate biofilm while 16 (44.4%) produced strong biofilm. The isolates were subjected to various pathogenicity tests which include haemolysis, catalase, phospholipase and hydrolysis. This test shows that Candida species has the highest percentage to the entire test while none of C. glabrata produced haemolysin and phospholipase. Antifungal assay was then carried out on the entire organisms showed Candida albicans to have low resistance to the azoles drugs while the non-albican Candida shows higher resistance to it. Extremely high prevalence of Candida albicans and Candida species were documented in this study. These findings should be taken into account in further research concerning presence of Candida among patient with sexually transmitted disease in Nigeria.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Candida albicans is a pathogenic fungus that can cause oral candidiasis, reaches 20% - 70% prevalence in human. Antifungal drugs often used for oral candidiasis treatment is nystatin, but nystatin has many harmful side effects, and its price is relatively high. Therefore, herbal remedies such as red galangal (Alpinia galanga L.), which presumed to have antifungal activity, can be used as an alternative treatment. The purpose of this research was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration and a minimum lethal dose of red galangal ethanolic extract on the growth of Candida albicans. Methods: This research was an experimental laboratory, conducted by comparing the test group containing ethanolic extracts of red galangal (Alpinia galanga L.) with the concentrations of 200mg/ml; 100mg/ml; 50mg/ml; 25mg/ml; 12.5mg/ml; and 6.25mg/ml; positive control group was treated with nystatin; and negative control with 10% DMSO. The solutions on 96 well plates were observed with a spectrophotometer, and the minimum killing concentration (MKC) was determined using a colony counter, and the experiment was replicated four times. The result was then analysed with ANOVA parametric test and the Post-Hoc Tuckey test afterwards. Results: The result of the ANOVA test showed that the p-value was < 0.05, which means that all treatments have a significant value, while the Post-Hoc Tuckey test indicated that there were significant differences in each group regarding the number of Candida albicans. Conclusion: Minimum Inhibitory Level (MIC) of red galangal (Alpinia galanga L) ethanolic extract against Candida albicans growth is 200mg/ml but only inhibits 60% of the growth. In contrast, the extract is unable to mortally affects the Candida albicans.Keywords: Candida albicans, red galangal, Alpinia galanga L.

Full textAbstract:
Candida albicans formed germ tubes when exposed to air containing 5 to 15% carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2-mediated germ tube formation occurred optimally at 37 °C in a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. No germ tubes were produced at 25 °C, even when the optimal concentration of CO2 (10%) was present in the environment. The requirement of CO2 for germ tube formation could be partially substituted by sodium bicarbonate but not by N2. Carbon dioxide was required to be present throughout the entire course of germ tube emergence suggesting that its role is not limited to an initial triggering of morphogenic change. We suggest that carbon dioxide may be a common effector responsible for the germ tube promoting activity of certain chemical inducers for C. albicans. Key words: Candida albican germ tubes, CO2-induced germ tube formation, endotrophic germ tube formation.

Candida albicansisan opportunistic fungal pathogen found as part of the normal microflora in humans, it is one of approximately 200 species in the genus Candida.Candidaalbicans is the most common type of fungus to cause yeast infectionsand accounts for up to 75% of all candidalinfections.A study on the prevalence of vaginal infections was carried out on women at the effective Medical Laboratory, Port-Harcourt. The Clinical symptoms noted amongst women were itching, vaginal discharge, irritation of the vulvovaginal.A total of 100 samples were collected and analysed, a percentage occurrence of 64% growth and 36%no growth was gotten. Germ tubes test carried out shows that out of 64 samples that had growth, 42 of the samples isolated were positive and 22 were negative.Gram staining reactions of Candida albicans isolated shows that all were gram positive.This shows that Candida albicanswas prevalent. Antifungal susceptibility test showed susceptibility of 42%, this was observed in Nystatin, which indicates that it’s a better antifungal drug in the treatment of Candida albican infection above other antifungal drugs used for the analysis which include Griseoflucin, Fluconazole, Sivoketonazole.The fact that a patient presents symptoms of candidiasis does not mean that the infection is caused by Candida albicans. Proper diagnosis is required to ascertain the main cause of the infection.

ABSTRACT The in vivo interactions of platelets with Candidaspecies yeast cells were investigated in a murine model. Mice were injected intravenously via the lateral caudal vein, and blood drawn by periorbital puncture was collected in phosphate-buffered saline–formaldehyde to avoid in vitro platelet activation. The study of the clearance of blastoconidia of Candida albicans andCandida glabrata showed that these cells disappeared quickly from the bloodstream. Microscopic observation of blood samples, stained by Calcofluor white or May Grunwald Giemsa, demonstrated the rapid attachment of platelets to fungal elements of all theCandida spp. tested. The attachment of murine platelets toC. albicans cells, observed by scanning electron microscopy, revealed morphological changes. The platelets lost their discoid shape, generated pseudopodia, and flattened against the yeast cells. The reversibility of platelet binding to C. albicansby chelating agents suggests a cation-dependent link. In contrast, the fixation of C. glabrata and Candida tropicaliswas not modified by chelating agents. The mechanisms involved in the in vivo adherence of platelets to Candida cells may therefore differ according to the species of Candida.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida Sp, especially Candida albicans. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis was defined as the occurrence of four or more episodes of vulvovaginal candidiasis in 12 months period. As many as 9% of women from various populations have recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis affects the quality of life, mental health, and sexual activity. There are many predisposing factors that caused recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, such as genetics, host, habit, idiopathic and non-albican candida microbes. Management of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis includes elimination of predisposing factors; mycological culture diagnosis and identification of specific Candida species; followed by microbiological examination to confirm the sensitivity of the azole group to Candida sp. Further, oral, or topical therapy should be continued until the patient is asymptomatic and culture-negative. Patients should receive induction therapy followed by maintenance suppressive therapy for six months.

Full textAbstract:
Denture stomatitis is a common oral infection caused by Candid albicans. It occurs under removable dentures due to several causative and contributing factors. If not treated, it can lead to fatal systemic candida infections. Different materials and techniques have been used to treat denture stomatitis; however, no single treatment has succeeded. The purpose of this study was to review novel techniques for incorporating antimicrobial and protein repellent agents into denture acrylic resin materials and their effect on the adhesion of Candida albicans to denture base acrylic resin materials to prevent and/or treat denture stomatitis. A systematic review was conducted in which an electronic search was undertaken using different databases and relevant keywords. The literature search revealed numerous studies describing different antifungal materials incorporated into different denture acrylic resin materials. The investigated materials showed significant antimicrobial activity with slight or no effect on the physical and mechanical properties; however, the optical properties were particularly affected with higher concentrations. The incorporation of antimicrobial agents to reduce or prevent Candida albicans biofilm formation on acrylic resin proved to be very effective, and this effect was found to be proportional to the percentage of the material used. The latter should be considered carefully not to alter the physical, mechanical or optical characteristics of the denture base material.

Full textAbstract:
Invasive fungal infections by Candida albicans frequently cause mortality in immunocompromised patients. Neutrophils are particularly important for fungal clearance during systemic C. albican infection, yet little has been known regarding which surface receptor controls neutrophils’ antifungal activities. CD137, which is encoded by Tnfrsf9, belongs to the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily and has been shown to regulate neutrophils in Gram-positive bacterial infection. Here, we used genetic and immunological tools to probe the involvement of neutrophil CD137 signaling in innate defense mechanisms against systemic C. albicans infection. We first found that Tnfrsf9−/− mice were susceptible to C. albicans infection, whereas injection of anti-CD137 agonistic antibody protected the host from infection, suggesting that CD137 signaling is indispensable for innate immunity against C. albicans infection. Priming of isolated neutrophils with anti-CD137 antibody promoted their phagocytic and fungicidal activities through phospholipase C. In addition, injection of anti-CD137 antibody significantly augmented restriction of fungal growth in Tnfrsf9−/− mice that received wild-type (WT) neutrophils. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that CD137 signaling contributes to defense mechanisms against systemic C. albicans infection by promoting rapid fungal clearance.

Quercetin has been extracted from Ammi majus plant using ethanol via soxhlet system. Further, the substance was diagnosed by three binary and mono-layered chromatographical devices beside chronographical quantitative separation. Total of 45 patients was inflicted with mouth infections and urinary tract in both genders. The momentary vaginal infections among different ages of people settled in different regions of Nineveh district / Iraq were considered for the study. The study patients were identified using microscopic testing, selective differential medium (CHROM candida agar) and Vitek system. The isolation results inferred that the mouth infection is caused by most yeasts such as Candida parapsilosis (the most frequent),. The urinary tract infection is concerned, and most of the infections were reportedly caused by C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis and C. albicans. with regards to the vaginal infections cases, C. albicans fungus has been the most frequent. Bio chemical tests were conducted using Vitek for the isolants studied, in which there were differences in the study results. Quercetin was extracted from Candid spp. The increase in the inhibition of quercetin is noted, whenever its concentration is increased. With regards to the anti-fungals Nystantin, for the concentration of 100IU/ml.and Clotrimazole 30mg/ml had inhibited the yeast Candid spp.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Invasive Candida infections are the most common invasive fungal infections. Multiple site colonization plays a major role. Further decrease in host immunity (e.g. neutropenia, diabetes mellitus etc.) aggravates local invasion and dissemination which finally leads to candidemia. Hence the study was done to evaluate “Candida Score” in non-neutropenic critically ill patients for early antifungal therapy.Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, all critically ill patients having sepsis or septic shock on admission or during their stay in ICU stay were included in the study. The components of “Candida Score” like severe sepsis, total parenteral nutrition, surgery, and multifocal Candida colonization were as per Leone et al. Clinical sepsis was given score of 2 if present and 0 if absent. The other variables were given score 01 if present and 0 if absent. The score more than 2.5 is considered significant.Results: Out of 78 patients admitted in the ICU a total of 26 blood culture positives were reported. The prevalence of Candidemia (based on culture) was 23.1% (n=06). The strains isolated were Candida non albicans (n=4, 66.7%) and Canida albicans (n=2, 33.3%). Candida was isolated in different samples other than blood culture of 26(33.33%). The most common specimen with Candida isolation was from urine (n=14, 60.87%), followed by endotracheal aspiration and sputum (n=3, 13% each) and BAL fluid (n=1, 04.3%). Among the isolates Candida non albicans (n=12, 52.2%) was more prevalent than Candida albicans (n=11, 47.8%). The prevalence was maximum for the age group of 60 to 69 years (42.31%) followed by 70 to 79 yrs and 50-59 yrs. Among all patients, 14 patients were referred in our hospital and 12 of them had a prolonged ICU stay (>10 Days). The patients with the Candida score ≥2.5 were 06 in numbers, of which 66.7% were having score 3 followed by one each of having score 4 and 5. Out of these 06 patients 04 received antifungal treatment. One patient with Candida score more than 03 succumbed to death without having antifungal treatment.Conclusions: Early identification of invasive candidiasis with the use of “Candida Score” in critically ill patients may help to initiate antifungal interventions and even help the treating physician or intensivist to formulate the more effective treatment algorithms.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Candida species is usually a commensal fungus residing in the vagina, in about 30 %–50 % of healthy adults and remains the most common agent isolated from clinical samples of patients diagnosed with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Culture is not recommended for all patients on a routine basis but is informative for the exclusion of non-albicans infections resistant to azoles, or recurrent VVC. Identification of Candida species and antifungal susceptibility testing are key elements in the correct management of recurrent VVC. The authors of this paper aimed to study the spectrum of pathogenic Candida species. The antifungal sensitivity patterns of the isolated strains during the years 2017-2019 are also presented. Material and methods. A descriptive study of Candida species distribution and antifungal susceptibility profile was performed. Identification of isolated Candida species was performed by the MALDI-TOF MS, bacterial strains by Vitek 2 automated system (BioMérieux) and antifungal susceptibility profiles by Fungitest (Bio-Rad). Results. Of the 1030 recovered strains, C. albicans species predominated - 83.8% and Candida non albicans -16.2%. The most common species of the Candida non-albicans, were C.glabrata (7.5%). Also, it was observed that in 56.6% of the cases C. albicans presented bacterial associations. The most common microbial association was C. albicans and S.aureus (26.6%), followed by C. albicans and E.coli (20.8%). Candida spp. showed moderate antifungal resistance. The resistance rate of C. albicans isolates to miconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole was 25.5%, 17.0% and 11.4% compared to non-albicans Candida strains which showed a resistance rate of 10,8%, 14.4% and 10%, respectively. Conclusions. C. albicans is the most frequently isolated species among patients with VVC, but there is also an increase share of non-albicans Candida species such as C. glabrata. C. albicans isolates showed higher indices of resistance, than Candida non-albicans.

Objective: Candida spp. is the third leading cause of catheter-related infections. Candida species is a part of human microflora and it becomes pathogenic when certain conditions are present and cause an opportunistic infections. The present study was undertaken to determine incidences of Candida albicans and non-albicans among catheterized urinary tract infection (UTI) patients of Akola city.Methods: A total 60 catheter urine samples were collected from patient of all the age group and both sex who had indwelling urinary catheter. The collected catheterized urine samples of patients from various hospitals of Akola city were used for isolation using HiCrome Candida differential agar.Results: It was found that highest frequency of isolation of Candida spp. was from age group 61-70 years. The predominance of male candidate was more than female having Candida spp. in catheter-associated UTI (C-UTI). Among the Candida spp. C. albicans (64.81%) was predominant over non-albicans spp. while in non-albicans Candida krusei and Candida glabrata were predominant showing 11.11% incidences. It was followed by Candida tropicalis (9.2%) and Candida parapsilosis (3.7%).Conclusion: The incidences of C. albicans and non-albicans were high among catheter-associated UTI patients.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Candida albicans remains the most common and are responsible for various clinical infections ranging from mucocutaneous infection to life threatening invasive diseases. But recent epidemiological data shift from C.albicans to non albicans Candida species and also increased resistance to antifungal drugs made the scenario a serious concern.
Methods: A total of 156 Candida isolates from various clinical specimens received in the department of Microbiology were taken up for the study over a period of one year i.e. from March 2019 to February 2020. The Candida were grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar to be evaluated for colony appearance, macroscopic examination, Gram staining, germ tube, urea hydrolysis etc. The Candida isolates were speciated by using CHROMagar medium. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed as recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M44-A document.
Results: The isolation of non albicans Candida (54.5%) predominated over Candida albicans (45.5%). Non albicans Candida isolated were Candida tropcalis 40(25.6%), Candida krusei 21(13.4%), Candida glabrata 17(10.8%) and Candida dublinensis 07(4.4%) each. Candida species were all susceptible to Amphotericin B, followed by fluconazole (67.4%), miconazole (51.9%) and ketoconazole (22.5%).
Conclusions: The accurate species identification of Candida is important for the treatment because not all species respond to the same treatment and also because of the increasing antifungal resistance. CHROMagar is a convenient and rapid method of identification of Candida species specially in resource limited poor settings.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Candida species are the most common opportunistic fungal infections. Today, cinnamon plants have been considered for anti-Candida properties.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cinnamaldehyde extract (from cinnamon derivatives) on Candida albicans and Candida glabrata species and comparison with nystatin.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, cinnamaldehyde and nystatin were used. The specimens included Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were measured for each one by the microdilution method. This experiment was repeated three times.
RESULTS: Cinnamaldehyde extract at a concentration of 62.5 μl/ml was able to prevent the growth of Candida albicans, at a concentration of 93.7 μl/ml, causing Candida albicans to disappear, at 48.8 μl/ml, to prevent the growth of Candida glabrata, and in the concentration of 62.5 μl/ml, causes the loss of Candida glabrata. In comparison, nystatin at 0.5 μg/ml concentration prevented the growth of Candida albicans, at concentrations of 1 μg/ml causing Candida albicans to be destroyed, at 4 μg/ml concentration to prevent the growth of Candida glabrata, and at a concentration of 8 μg/ml causes the loss of Candida glabrata. The results were the same every three times.
CONCLUSIONS: Although cinnamaldehyde extract had an effect on fungal growth in both Candida albicans and Candida glabrata with a fatal effect; the effect on these two species was lower than nystatin.

Background: Candida species are the most important fungal pathogens and are sometimes considered the fourth most common cause of infection in hospitals. Today, research needs to be conducted on the antifungal effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) due to toxicity, side effects, and drug interactions of antifungal chemical drugs. Objective: Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the antifungal activity of AgNPs on Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii. Methodology: Antifungal activity of AgNPs on Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii was assessed by agar and macrodilution diffusion methods in an in-vitro investigation. Structural changes were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then, the obtained data were evaluated by SPSS statistical software. Results: Based on the results, the mean diameter of growth inhibition halos by AgNPs was equal to 20, 20.2, and 40.7mm for Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) equal 62.50, 31.25, and 15.62 mg/ml for Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii, respectively. The minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) were equal to 125, 62.50, and 31.25 mg/ml for Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii, respectively. Conclusion: Our results revealed that AgNPs inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Candida guilliermondii. SEM observations also showed that NPs disrupted cell membrane/wall. Changes in yeast levels from smooth to uneven were also observed.
