Short Communication:
Comparison of proteinase activity, hemolysin production, and adherence ability of
Candida albicans
isolates obtained from gastroesophageal lesions and urinary tract infections
Forough Rezvani, Mehrnoush Maheronnaghsh, Rasoul Mohammadi
J Res Med Sci
2022, 27:58 (29 July 2022)
DOI

Background:
Adhesion of
Candida
to host cell receptors, hemolysin production, and proteinase activity are assumed as principal virulence factors and infection establishment. These virulence factors are essential for colonization, biofilm formation, and attack on the host cells.
Materials
and
Methods:
A total of 97
Candida albicans
isolates obtained from gastroesophageal lesions and urinary tract infections were included in the study. Adhesion assay, proteinase activity, and hemolysin production were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent
t
-test and Chi-square test to compare quantitative and qualitative data between the two groups.
Results:
The adherence ability to the buccal epithelial cells was the same in the two groups. Proteinase activity was seen in all clinical isolates. Hemolytic activities were not statistically significant in the two groups.
Conclusion:
Our results recommend that the pathogenicity of
C. albicans
in the mucous membranes cannot be connected to the infected site.
