[Species characteristic and persistent factors of Candida genus fungi isolated from various biotopes during infectious-inflammation diseases and intestine dysbiosis].

ABSTRACT

AIM: Determine species composition and persistent properties of Candida genus fungi isolated from various biotopes of the human organism during infectious-inflammation diseases and intestine dysbiosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 152 Candida genus fungi were isolated and identified from individuals with dysbioses and patients with infectious-inflammation diseases. Antilactoferrin and sIgA-protease activity of isolates was determined by enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS. C. albicans strain was shown to be the dominant species isolated from all the studied biotopes. Wide prevalence of the studied properties in Candida genus fungi and their dependence on species membership, isolation biotope, infectious process form, degree ofdysbiotic disorders in intestine was established. CONCLUSION: The data obtained expand the understanding of biological properties of Candida genus fungi that facilitate their prolonged survival in host organism.
