In Vitro Efficacy of Continuous Mild High Temperature on the Biofilm Formation of Aspergillus Niger.

Objective To investigate whether continuous mild high temperature (increased temperature without causing significant damage to host cells) can inhibit the biofilm formation of Aspergillus niger (A.niger) and its vitality.Methods A.

A simple and reliable PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay to identify Candida albicans and its closely related Candida dubliniensis.

Candida dubliniensis is an emerging pathogen capable of causing superficial as well as systemic infections. Due to its close similarity to C. albcians, conventional methods based on phenotypic traits are not always reliable in identification of C.

First isolation of Candida dubliniensis from oral cavities of dermatological patients in Nanjing, China.

Candida dubliniensis is an emerging pathogen capable of causing both superficial and systemic infections. Although C. dubliniensis and C.

Characterization of the Candida parapsilosis complex in East China: species distribution differs among cities.

Candida parapsilosis, which was previously considered to be a complex of three genetically distinct groups, has emerged as a significant agent of nosocomial infections. Recently, this complex was separated into three species: C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C.

In vitro evaluation of phospholipase, proteinase, and esterase activities of Candida parapsilosis and Candida metapsilosis.

The aim of this study is to characterize extracellular phospholipase, proteinase, and esterase activities of Candida parapsilosis and C. metapsilosis isolated from clinical sources. Using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) of the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH) gene fragment, we identified 20 as C.
