Prevalence of different strains of Candida albicans in patients with denture-induced stomatitis
Sabouraudia
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Eighteen resistogram strains of Candida albicans were found among isolates obtained from 10 oral sites sampled prior to treatment in 22 patients with denture stomatitis. Eight strains were isolated from single patients, but two were found in four patients and one was found in five patients. Fifteen of the 18 strains were isolated from sites including the fitting surface of the denture or the denture-bearing mucosa. Twelve patients, sampled on a second occasion after treatment, harboured at least one strain on both occasions.

01:27The Oral Microbiota
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...
01:20Candidiasis
Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by opportunistic species of Candida. It can affect various anatomical sites, including the skin, oral cavity, nails, and genitourinary tract. Among its forms, vaginal candidiasis is the most common type of mucosal infection. It typically results from the overgrowth of Candida albicans in the vaginal mucosa. Under normal conditions, C. albicans exists as a commensal organism within the vaginal microbiota, regulated by the dominance of lactobacilli, which...
