Objectives Mucus hypersecretion is a prominent feature in patients with chronic respiratory tract infections such as cystic fibrosis and diffuse panbronchiolitis, and the clinical effectiveness of...

Fusarium and Candida albicans biofilms on soft contact lenses: model development, influence of lens type, and susceptibility to lens care solutions. (2008)

Imamura, Yoshifumi, Chandra, Jyotsna, Mukherjee, Pranab K., Lattif, Ali Abdul, Szczotka-Flynn, Loretta B., Pearlman, Eric, ...

Fungal keratitis is commonly caused by Fusarium species and less commonly by Candida species. Recent outbreaks of Fusarium keratitis were associated with contact lens wear and with ReNu with...

Interaction of Candida albicans with adherent human peripheral blood mononuclear cells increases C. albicans biofilm formation and results in differential expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. (2007)

Chandra, Jyotsna, McCormick, Thomas S., Imamura, Yoshifumi, Mukherjee, Pranab K., Ghannoum, Mahmoud A.

Monocytes and macrophages are the cell types most commonly associated with the innate immune response against Candida albicans infection. Interactions between the host immune system and Candida...
