COMPARATIVE TRANSCRIPT PROFILING OF Candida albicans AND Candida dubliniensis IDENTIFIES SFL2, A C. albicans GENE REQUIRED FOR VIRULENCE IN A RECONSTITUTED EPITHELIAL INFECTION MODEL
(2010)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are closely related species displaying differences in virulence and genome content, therefore providing potential opportunities to identify novel C. albicans virulence genes. C. ... -
IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE GENE cfr IN PANTON-VALENTINE LEUKOCIDIN-POSITIVE ST8-METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVa (USA300)
(2010)The staphylococcal cfr gene mediates resistance to phenicols, lincosamides, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramin A, a phenotype that has been termed PhLOPSA. The cfr gene has mainly been associated with ... -
Development of Wireless Bruxism Monitoring Device Based on Pressure Sensitive Polymer
(Elsevier, 2010)A wireless pressure sensing bite guard has been developed for monitoring the progress of bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep); as well as protecting the teeth from damages. For sensing the pressure effectively in the ... -
LACK OF CYTOTOXICITY BY TRUSTWATER ECASOL? USED TO MAINTAIN GOOD QUALITY DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE OUTPUT WATER IN KERATINOCYTE MONOLAYER AND RECONSTITUTED HUMAN ORAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODELS
(2010)Summary: We previously showed that residual treatment of dental chair unit (DCU) supply water using the electrochemically-activated solution Trustwater Ecasol? (2.5 ppm) provided an effective long-term solution to the ... -
Differential filamentation of Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis is governed by nutrient regulation of UME6 expression
(2010)Candida dubliniensis is closely related to C. albicans, however it is responsible for fewer infections in humans and is less virulent in animal models of infection. C. dubliniensis forms fewer hyphae in vivo and this may ... -
DIFFERENTIAL REGULATION OF THE TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPRESSOR NRG1 ACCOUNTS FOR ALTERED HOST CELL INTERACTIONS IN CANDIDA ALBICANS AND CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS
(2007)Candida dubliniensis is genetically closely related to C. albicans, but causes fewer infections in humans and exhibits reduced virulence and filamentation in animal models of infection. We investigated the role of the ... -
A Ser29Leu SUBSTITUTION IN THE CYTOSINE DEAMINASE Fca1p IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLADE-SPECIFIC 5-FLUCYTOSINE RESISTANCE IN Candida dubliniensis
(2009)The population structure of the opportunistic yeast pathogen Candida dubliniensis is composed of three main multilocus sequence typing clades (clades C1 to C3), and clade C3 predominantly consists of isolates from the ... -
Candida dubliniensis: An update
(1999)The increased incidence of fungal infections during the last decade has been well-documented. Given that one of the most important factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increased numbers of immunocompromised ... -
MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING REVEALS THAT THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF Candida dubliniensis IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DIVERGENT THAN THAT OF Candida albicans
(2008)he pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis is phylogenetically very closely related to Candida albicans, and both species share many phenotypic and genetic characteristics. DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe ... -
AZOLE SUSCEPTIBILITY AND RESISTANCE IN CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS
(2005)Candida dubliniensis is a recently described species of pathogenic yeast that shares many phenotypic features with Candida albicans. It is primarily associated with oral colonization and infection in HIV-infected individuals. ... -
NOVEL 5-FLUCYTOSINE-RESISTANT CLADE OF CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS FROM SAUDI ARABIA AND EGYPT IDENTIFIED BY CD25 FINGERPRINTING.
(2005)DNA fingerprinting of Candida dubliniensis isolates using the species-specific probe Cd25 previously showed that this species consists of two distinct groups, termed Cd25 group I and Cd25 group II. The present study ... -
AVIAN-ASSOCIATED AND HUMAN ISOLATES OF Candida dubliniensis ARE GENETICALLY DISTINCT
(2009)When Candida dubliniensis isolates obtained from seabird excrement and from humans in Ireland were compared by using multilocs sequence typing, 13 of 14 avian isolates were genetically distinct from human isolates. The ... -
Tooth agenesis in patients referred to an Irish tertiary care clinic for the developmental dental disorders
(Irish Dental Association, 2010)PURPOSE: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence, severity and pattern of hypodontia in Irish patients referred to a tertiary care clinic for developmental dental disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Details ... -
Multilocus sequence typing reveals that the population structure of Candida dubliniensis is significantly less divergent than that of Candida albicans.
(2008)The pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis is phylogenetically very closely related to Candida albicans, and both species share many phenotypic and genetic characteristics. DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe ... -
Purification and germination of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis chlamydospores cultured in liquid media
(2009-06-30)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are the only Candida species that have been observed to produce chlamydospores. The function of these large, thick-walled cells is currently unknown. In this report we describe ... -
Genome-wide gene expression profiling and a forward genetic screen show that differential expression of the sodium ion transporter Ena21 contributes to the differential tolerance of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to osmotic stress
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)Candida albicans is more pathogenic than Candida dubliniensis. However, this disparity in virulence is surprising given the high level of sequence conservation and the wide range of phenotypic traits shared by these two ... -
Reduced azole susceptibility in genotype 3 C. dubliniensis isolates associated with increased CdCDR1 and CdCDR2 expression.
(2005)Candida dubliniensis is a recently identified yeast species primarily associated with oral carriage and infection in HIV-infected individuals. The species can be divided into at least four genotypes on the basis of the ... -
COMPARATIVE GENOMICS USING CANDIDA ALBICANS DNA MICROARRAYS REVEALS ABSENCE AND DIVERGENCE OF VIRULENCE ASSOCIATED GENES IN CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS
(2004)Candida dubliniensis is a pathogenic yeast species closely related to Candida albicans. However, it is less frequently associated with human disease and displays reduced virulence in animal models of infection. We have ... -
Lower filamentation rates of Candida dubliniensis contribute to its lower virulence in comparison with Candida albicans
(Elsevier, 2007)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are very closely related yeast species. In this study, we have conducted a thorough comparison of the ability of the two species to produce hyphae and their virulence in two ...
