The Dynamics of Single-Cell Nanomotion Behaviour of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a Microfluidic Chip for Rapid Antifungal Susceptibility Testing
Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba
The fast emergence of multi-resistant pathogenic yeasts is caused by the extensive-and sometimes unnecessary-use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. To rationalise the use of broad-spectrum antifungals, it is essential to have a rapid and sensitive syst ...
MDPI2022The Drosophila Baramicin polypeptide gene protects against fungal infection
Bruno Lemaitre, Mark Austin Hanson, Igor Iatsenko, Alice Marra
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster combats microbial infection by producing a battery of effector peptides that are secreted into the haemolymph. Technical difficulties prevented the investigation of these short effector genes until the recent advent of ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2021Caspofungin on ARGET-ATRP grafted PHEMA polymers: Enhancement and selectivity of prevention of attachment of Candida albicans
There is a need for coatings for biomedical devices and implants that can prevent the attachment of fungal pathogens while allowing human cells and tissue to appose without cytotoxicity. Here, the authors study whether a poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (P ...
2017Fungicidal activity of copper-sputtered flexible surfaces under dark and actinic light against azole-resistant Candida albicans and Candida glabrata
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo
Candida spp. are able to survive on hospital surfaces and causes healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). Since surface cleaning and disinfecting interventions are not totally effective to eliminate Candida spp., new approaches should be devised. Copper ( ...
Elsevier2017New antimicrobial surfaces and intravascular catheters for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important health issue around the world. The consequences of HAIs incidence include prolonged hospital stays, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, higher costs for health systems and for t ...
EPFL2017Digital microfluidics for time-resolved cytotoxicity studies on single non-adherent yeast cells
Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia
Single cell analysis (SCA) has gained increased popularity for elucidating cellular heterogeneity at genomic, proteomic and cellular levels. Flow cytometry is considered as one of the most widely used techniques to characterize single cell responses; howev ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2015IL-13 attenuates gastrointestinal candidiasis in normal and immunodeficient RAG-2(-/-) mice via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma activation
We recently demonstrated that in vitro peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) activation of mouse peritoneal macrophages by IL-13 or PPARgamma ligands promotes uptake and killing of Candida albicans through mannose receptor overexpres ...
2008Recent progress in the synthesis of zaragozic acids and analogs
Zaragozic acids (or squalestatins) are very potent inhibitors of squalene synthase. They or simpler analogs have potential as drugs for lowering the endogenous level of cholesterol in human serum. These compounds are Ras farnesyltransferase inhibitors and ...
2001Drosophila host defense: differential induction of antimicrobial peptide genes after infection by various classes of microorganisms
Insects respond to microbial infection by the rapid and transient expression of several genes encoding potent antimicrobial peptides. Herein we demonstrate that this antimicrobial response of Drosophila is not aspecific but can discriminate between various ...
National Academy of Sciences1998Two distinct pathways can control expression of the gene encoding the Drosophila antimicrobial peptide metchnikowin
Metchnikowin is a recently discovered proline-rich peptide from Drosophila with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Like most other antimicrobial peptides from insects, its expression is immune-inducible. Here we present evidence that induction of met ...
