AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new method to culture Candida albicans on the surface of skin samples treated with cyanoacrylate.
- The study found that both yeast and hyphae forms of the fungus thrived on extensive areas of the stratum corneum (outer skin layer).
- Fungal growth was more pronounced on skin samples from diabetic volunteers compared to those from non-diabetic individuals.
Article Abstract
We have used a novel approach to in vitro culture of Candida albicans on cyanoacrylate skin surface strippings. It appears that with this model yeasts and hyphae grew on large surfaces of stratum corneum. The area of extension of the fungal growth was larger on stratum corneum taken from diabetic than from non-diabetic volunteers.
