The ever increasing numbers of immunosuppressed individuals has led to a significant
increase in the incidence of opportunistic infections, particularly those caused by fungi. The …

Randomly selected strains of Candida albicans were grown with bovine serum albumin
(BSA) as a single nitrogen source. From all strains tested, culture supernatant contained …

In contrast to many well documented pathogenic bacteria, the pathogenic Candida species
are not characterized by dominant virulence factors. However, the recognized order of …

A serine proteinase (Alp) from the culture supernate of a clinical isolate of Aspergillus
fumigatus was purified to virtual homogeneity at a yield of 41%. The procedure involved …

The yeast-like fungi Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis are opportunistic pathogens
which are distinguished from less virulent yeasts by the secretion of acid proteases. Candida …

We traced an acid proteinase from Candida spp. in the initial stages of the pathogenesis of
the mycosis. On infection of human buccal mucosa, proteinase antigens were detected by …

Objectives Data on fungal infections occurring in Germany are rare to date. The aim of the
present study was to survey the epidemiological situation in Germany, to provide data on the …

Structures of polyacrylamide gels were examined by transmission-electron microscopy of
freeze-etched specimens. This experimental approach allows higher resolution than that …

From 1986 to 1988, in the pre‐fluconazole era, 67 765 clinical specimens from the Göttingen
University Hospital were investigated for bacteria and fungi in our institution. Oral and throat …

The proteinase from culture supernatants of Candida albicans strain CBS-2730 was purified
virtually to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. The …
