| Structure and strains Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast that is a common member of the human gut flora. It can also survive outside the human body. It is detected in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40 60% of healthy adults. It is usually a commensal organism, but it can become pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals under a variety of conditions. It is one of the few species of the genus Candida that cause the human infection candidiasis, which results from an overgrowth of the fungus. Candidiasis is, for example, often observed in HIV-infected patients. C. albicans is the most common fungal species isolated from biofilms either formed on (permanent) implanted medical devices or on human tissue. C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. glabrata are together responsible for 50 90% of all cases of candidiasis in humans. A mortality rate of 40% has been reported for patients with systemic candidiasis due to C. albicans. By one estimate, invasive candidiasis contracted in a hospital causes 2,800 to 11,200 deaths yearly in the US. Nevertheless, these numbers may not truly reflect the true extent of damage this organism causes, given new studies indicating that C. albicans can cross the blood brain barrier in mice. |
| Detection and diagnosis The diagnosis of candidiasis on the basis of serological methods is not easy: On the one hand transient yeast colonization may induce an antibody response, on the other hand systemic Candida mycosis in immunosuppressed patients may only lead to minor changes in antibody activities. Such situations make critical interpretation of serological findings necessary. In addition, systemic Candida infections may not cause typical symptoms. Currently, no single technique in isolation allows for a definitive serological diagnosis of candidiasis. Surveillance of at risk patients and therapy control requires the use of a variety of methods including serology and antigen detection |
