Examples of Candidal vulvovaginitis in the following topics:

  • Suppression and Alteration of Microbiota by Antimicrobials

    • This causes candidal vulvovaginitis, or yeast infections, a potentially painful infection of the vaginal mucous membranes by overgrown C. albicans.
  • Nonthermophilic Crenarchaeota

    • Due to the organisms' potential longevity, Halococcus may be a good candidate for exploring taxonomic similarities to life found in outer space.
  • Antibiotics and Selective Toxicity

    • The remainder must be tested for their selective toxicities and therapeutic activities, and the best candidates can be examined and possibly modified.
  • Adherence

    • Adhesins are attractive vaccine candidates because they are often essential to infection and are surface-located, making them readily accessible to antibodies.
  • Industrial Production of Antibiotics

    • The remainder must be tested for their selective toxicities and therapeutic activities, and the best candidates can be examined and possibly modified.
  • Size Variation and ORF Contents in Genomes

    • Long ORFs are often used, along with other evidence, to initially identify candidate protein coding regions in a DNA sequence .
  • Identification of Microbes Based on Molecular Genetics

    • Testing a candidate virulence gene requires a relevant animal model of the disease being examined and the ability to genetically manipulate the microorganism that causes the disease.
  • Metabolomics

    • This is of particular relevance to pharmaceutical companies wanting to test the toxicity of potential drug candidates.
  • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    • PAHs are a candidate for the molecule acted as a basis for the earliest forms of life.
