Objetivo: describir las características clínicas y demográficas de pacientes con osteomielitis por Candida spp. en el Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe de Medellín.
Metodología: observacional descriptiva.
Resultados: se encontraron 30 pacientes con osteomielitis por Candida spp. El 70% está conformado po...
Background: Biotechnological processes are costly, especially for the production of biosurfactants. The successful production of a biosurfactant is dependent on the development of processes using low cost raw materials. Considering the importance of the characteristics of a biosurfactant to facilitate it...

The use of central venous catheters (CVC) and broad-spectrum antibacterials are among the main risk factors for the development of candidemia in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). It is known that some antibacterials increase the resistance of these yeasts to azole antifungals. Thus, the ai...
The influence of vaginal infections on the natural history of human papillomavirus (HPV) is still unclear. Objective: To determine if patientswith low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs) and HPV have more vulvovaginitis than patients with normal liquid-based cervical cytology whowere negative ...
OBJECTIVE: Candidaemia is the fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the risk factors associated with mortality in patients with candidaemia with respect to Candida species and their susceptibilities, retrospectively. METHODS: All consec...
Background: Candida utilis is widely used in bioindustry, and its cell mass needs to be produced in a cost effective way. Process optimization based on the experimental results is the major way to reduce the production cost. However, this process is expensive, time consuming and labor intensive. Mathemat...
Background: The aim of the present study was to propose a low-cost method for the production of a biosurfactant by the yeast Candida sphaerica and assess its toxicity and phytotoxicity. The medium was formulated with distilled water supplemented with residue from a soy oil refinery (5%) and corn steep li...
A total of 101 (20.0%) yeast samples were isolated from vaginal fluids of 504 non-hospitalized patients in Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil and Candida albicans was more frequent specie (93.1%) identified by seminested PCR method. All the isolates were susceptible to amphotericin B and nystatin, and 93.1%...
Yeasts are becoming a common cause of nosocomial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. Such infections often develop into sepsis with high mortality rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate some of the numerous factors associated with the development of candidemia. Medical records were ret...
Introdução: o câncer cervical tem sido apontado como a segunda neoplasia mais comum entre as mulheres, sendo muitas vezes associado a agentes infecciosos (AI) relacionados a doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) ou oportunistas do trato genitourinário. Objetivo: avaliar diferentes variáveis epi...
