ABSTRACT
Candida species are a normal human flora in humans' digestive and reproductive systems, oral cavity, skin, and mucosal surfaces. This study aimed to detect the immunological role of Candida infection by using some immunological markers. The results of levels in serum showed high concentrations of IgA (56.20 ± 12 pg/ml,29.55 ± 4.5 pg/ml respectively) and IgG (12.05 ± 3.218 pg/ml, 3.836 ± 1.23 pg/ml respectively) in mice infected with C. albicans and mice treated with Cefoperazone and infected with Candida with significant differences (P value < 0.05). The results showed high serum levels of IL-17(191.5 ± 42.81 pg/ml) and TLR2(7.651 ± 1.5 pg/ml) in group mice infected with C. albicans compared with negative control and group mice treated with Cefoperazone. Also, high levels of IL-17 (91.33 ± 4.816 pg/ml) and TLR2 (2.630 ± 0.5 pg/ml) in group mice treated with Cefoperazone and infected with Candida compared with negative control and group mice treated with Cefoperazone (P value < 0.05). The results of antibodies and immunological markers in the intestine showed high levels of IgA and IgG in mice infected with C.albicans (55.7 ± 4.9 pg/ml, 18.19 ± 0.63 pg/ml respectively).Also,IgA and IgG in mice treated with Cefoperazone and infected with Candida were high level (43.04 ± 2.1 pg/ml, 2.927 ± 0.2 pg/ml respectively) in mice infected with C. albicans with significant differences (P value < 0.05). The results levels of IL-17 and TLR2 were increased in mice infected with C. albicans (191.5 ± 42.81 pg/ml, 7.651 ± 1.5 pg/ml respectively) and mice treated with Cefoperazone and infected with Candida (91.33 ± 4.816 pg/ml,2.630 ± 0.5 pg/ml respectively) with significant differences (P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study demonstrated that cefoperazone treatment and infection by Candida albicans changed the microbiome components in the gut and finally can change host immune responses. It was observed that elevated levels of the antibodies production (IgA and IgG) and immunological markers (IL-17, and TLR2) in serum and the gut.
