We review here the differences between them that suggest that they are distinct morphological states. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sequence comparisons suggest that the TLO genes encode transcriptional regulators, and preliminary analysis of the phenotype of C. dubliniensis tlo mutants suggests that these genes may play a role in the control of hypha formation [32]. [hindawi.com]

- Excitement
In Candida Albicans: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers explore these exciting new insights, focusing on the study of medically important fungi and Candida spp in particular. [springer.com]
Antifungal vaccines and monoclonal antibodies useful for active or passive immunizations have recently generated considerable excitement for the treatment of fungal infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“But this project is very exciting to me because it might actually help people.” Koehler and colleagues are searching for other substances that might better inhibit Pho84. [hms.harvard.edu]
NucBlue stain was excited with the 405 nm laser diode and detected through a bandpass filter BA430-470. mCherry fluorescence was excited with the 559 nm laser diode, and emission was detected through a bandpass filter BA575-675. [doi.org]
Emission at 520 nm from light excited at the two excitation wavelengths was collected, and their ratio was calculated online from phagosomes at different time points. [mbio.asm.org]
- Tremor
When I ate gluten, my sides ached and my small intestines felt as if they had been rubbed raw by sandpaper; I felt tremors throughout my body and deep, deep exhaustion. [well.blogs.nytimes.com]

One week later, he experienced urinary retention and was catheterized with 400 mL of residual urine. He was placed on tamsulosin and did well. [journals.lww.com]
Workup
Additional workup revealed severe neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count of 0.18 k/μl (1.19-7.21 k/μl). The abscess resolved after 2 weeks of oral fluconazole. C. albicans eyelid abscess may be the presenting sign of systemic immunodeficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gentamicin (GM), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has weak antifungal activity against Fusarium spp. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions of GM with azoles against Candida spp. and the underlying mechanisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
This situation can be considered as a one-stage exchange for fungal peri-prosthetic infection without preoperative identification of the responsible organism, which is considered as having a poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Typically, in otherwise healthy people with superficial candidiasis, a properly treated infection goes away without leaving permanent damage. [drugs.com]

Etiology
However, it was not until 1954 that the Eighth Botanical Congress officially endorsed the binomial Candida albicans as the nomen conservandum formally ending the 200 year long uncertainty over the etiology and taxonomy of Candida. [antimicrobe.org]

Epidemiology
The efficacy of antifungal treatment against candidiasis has been evaluated and discussed in the context of large epidemiological studies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
