白色念珠菌和热带念珠菌对人肺上皮细胞的粘附作用及其差异性比较

目的探讨白色念珠菌和热带念珠菌对人肺上皮细胞的粘附作用及其差异性.方法将白色念珠菌和热带念珠菌临床分离株在体外与人肺上皮细胞共同作用,经革兰染色后,在倒置显微镜下观察念珠菌对肺上皮细胞的粘附数.结果念珠菌粘附的肺上皮细胞与浓度和时间有依赖关系.菌液浓度在5×103CFU/ml至5×107CFU/ml范围内,念珠菌对肺上皮细胞的粘附作用随念珠菌浓度的增加而增强.白色念珠菌对肺上皮细胞的粘附数比热带念珠菌的粘附数要高.来自痰、尿标本的同一种念珠菌对人肺上皮细胞的粘附数无明显差异.结论念珠菌对人肺上皮细胞的粘附是一种特异性的粘附,临床标本来源的白色念珠菌粘附宿主细胞的能力比热带念珠菌强.     

乳杆菌DM8909对阴道上皮细胞粘附现象的初步研究

本文分析了乳杆菌DM8909菌株及自阴道分离的肠杆菌、葡萄球菌、白色念珠菌对阴道上皮细胞的粘附能力。结果显示,在正常阴道酸性条件(pH3.5—4.5)下,DM8909菌株对阴道上皮细胞的粘附能力明显高于肠杆菌(P<0.01)、葡萄球菌(P<0.01)、白色念珠菌(P<0.01);随pH增加,DM8909粘附能力降低,肠杆菌、葡萄球菌、白色念珠菌粘附能力增强;DM8909菌株能较强地抑制肠杆菌、葡萄球菌对阴道上皮细胞的粘附。本文提示,乳杆菌粘附形成的空间占位是防止其他菌对阴道组织附着的一个重要的保护性机制。

白色念珠菌胃癌株对细胞粘附作用的研究

研究白色念珠菌 (candidaalbicans)正常人口腔株与胃癌株对口腔粘膜细胞及肺上皮细胞的粘附性能。将白色念珠菌与正常人口腔颊粘膜细胞或培养的人肺上皮细胞于 37℃温育一定时间后 ,计算每个细胞粘附白色念珠菌数。白色念珠菌胃癌株对两类细胞粘附能力均较正常人口腔株强 ,其差异有显著性 (p <0 .0 1)。粘附性是致病菌侵袭力的重要机制 ,粘附性增强是白色念珠菌由正常微生物群成员转变为条件致病菌的重要条件。

目的 随着恶性肿瘤化疗等免疫抑制药物的应用,临床中发现念珠菌的发病率呈上升趋势,非白色念珠菌与白色念珠菌的比例有所增加,这与抗真菌药物的选择性压力有关.临床常见致病念珠菌中以白色念珠菌与热带念珠菌毒力最强,念珠菌的致病力不是由单一因素决定的,而是由一组因素决定,包括二相性转换、疏水性、粘附性、磷脂酶活性、天冬氨酸蛋白酶活性、溶血性等.念珠菌的毒力因子和致病机制非常复杂,对这些致病菌的致病性的了解,必将有助于对念珠菌感染的预防和治疗.     

Inhibition of Candida adhesion to buccal epithelial cells by an aqueous extract of Allium sativum (garlic)

The effect of pre-incubation of either Candida or buccal epithelial cells (BEC) with different concentrations of aqueous garlic extract (AGE) was investigated, as well as the effect of mouth rinse with AGE on the adhesion of yeast to BEC. Adhesion of Candida spp. to BEC was significantly reduced after both short and long time exposure of yeast to AGE. A similar inhibition of adherence was observed upon pre-incubation of BEC with AGE. The adherence-inhibition activity of AGE treatment was antagonized by thiols such as l-cysteine, glutathione and 2-mercaptoethanol. In addition, germ-tube formation was suppressed when C. albicans cells were pretreated with AGE. There was a significant reduction in the adherence of yeasts to BEC collected immmediately or 15 min after an oral rinse with AGE. No statistical significance in the adhesion of BEC collected 30 min after oral rinse with AGE and control BEC was observed. The diminished adherence of C. albicans to BEC after exposure to various concentrations of garlic may have clinical relevance.

Adherence of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis to buccal and vaginal cells

Twenty-seven Candida albicans strains and 26 Candida dubliniensis strains, isolated from HIV patients, were tested for their adherence to buccal and vaginal epithelial cells. Both species showed important levels of adhesion to buccal and vaginal epithelial cells, although C. albicans showed the highest levels of adhesion. These results suggest that both Candida species are well adapted, in terms of adhesion capability, to the oral and vaginal environment.     

Decrease in adherence of bacteria and yeasts to human mucosal epithelial cells by noxythiolin in vitro

Adherence of buccal and vaginal isolates of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells and the adherence of urine isolates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus to uroepithelial cells was quantified by light microscopy. The antimicrobial agent noxythiolin reduced the adherence of these micro-organisms in both exponential and stationary growth phases. Adherence of both the blastospore and pseudohyphal forms of C. albicans was reduced. Treatment of epithelial cells and/or micro-organisms with noxythiolin resulted in decreased adherence. No anti-adherence effect was observed with formaldehyde and N-methylthiourea, the degradative products of noxythiolin.     

Reduced adherence of micro-organisms to human mucosal epithelial cells following treatment with Taurolin, a novel antimicrobial agent

Taurolin, a non-antibiotic antimicrobial agent, significantly reduced the adherence of buccal and vaginal strains of Candida albicans blastospores and urine isolates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus to epithelial cells. Light microscopy and radio-isotopic counting methods were used to quantify the adherence of the micro-organisms to either uroepithelial or buccal epithelial cells. A maximum reduction in adherence of approximately 65% was obtained. The anti-adherence capacity was time-dependent, requiring a contact time of 30 min to achieve maximum effect. Taurolin at sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) significantly reduced the adherence of Candida and E. coli. A concentration slightly higher than the MIC was required for Staph. saprophyticus. Treatment of either epithelial cells or micro-organisms with Taurolin resulted in reduced adherence of microorganisms.     

In vitro effect of carbohydrates and enteric bacteria on adherence of Candida albicans

The adherence of Candida albicans to any cell is considered essential in the process that leads to colonization. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of different carbohydrates and the presence of lactobacilli and Escherichia coli on the in vitro adherence of Candida albicans. The adherence to buccal epithelial cells was higher when growing at concentrations of galactose of 50, and 200 mM, as well as 50, 200, and 500 mM of sucrose, and 500 mM of mannose, compared with that obtained when growing in Sabouraud dextrose broth (p < 0.01). The presence of other microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. casei, caused a decrease in the in vitro adherence of C. albicans to buccal epithelial cells (p < 0.05), whereas E. coli did not modify this adherence at all.     

Reduced adherence of micro-organisms to human mucosal epithelial cells following treatment with Taurolin, a novel antimicrobial agent

Adherence of Candida albicans to buccal and vaginal epithelial cells: ultrastructural observations

The adherence of Candida albicans to human buccal and vaginal epithelial cells was studied by transmission electron microscopy. Adherence to epithelial cells was confirmed by both a radiometric assay as well as direct microscopic examination of stained cell preparations. Ultramicroscopic preparations revealed that yeast cells were closely appressed to epithelial cell surfaces and were often partially enclosed within phagocyticlike invaginations of the epithelial cells. A murine model of vaginitis caused by C. albicans was also used to study adherence to epithelial cells and to follow the course of colonization. Ultramicroscopic preparations of murine vaginal tissue revealed that within 2 h postinfection, yeast cells could be seen adhering to epithelial cells. At 6 h postinfection, hyphae and yeast cells were not only found on the epithelial cell surface but also within the submucosal tissue. When observed on the epithelial cell surface, Candida cells were either attached to host cells, or when infected tissue was stained with ruthenium red, Candida cells were observed on the epithelial surface embedded within an electron-dense matrix. Fungal elements were abundant in the submucosa at 24 h postinfection and were still observed on the epithelial cell surface; all of this was accompanied by an inflammatory response.     

Reduced adherence and inhibition of hyphal development of Candida albicans by the antimicrobial agent polynoxylin

Polynoxylin (Anaflex R) was investigated for antimicrobial activities ancillary to its known cidal and static effects. Significant reductions in adherence of Candida albicans blastospores (oral strain) to human buccal epithelial cells were observed following polynoxylin treatment. The anti-adherence activity was concentration and time-dependent. Treatment of the epithelial cells did not result in significant reductions in adherence. Polynoxylin was also shown to inhibit the germination and hyphal development of C. albicans.
