Abstract
- Purpose: Candida albicans is one of the main opportunistic pathogen for human , the aim of this study is to investigate the phenomena of apoptosis in oral Candida albicans induced by acetic acid.<br />Methods: The Candida albicans of clinical strains were induced to apoptosis by using a weak acid acetic acid.The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and TEM. The data were processed for Chi-square test using SPSS11.5 software package.<br />Results: Oral Candida albicans had classic apoptosis when induced by proper concentration of acetic acid, and different concentrations of acetic acid had variable ability of inducing apoptosis of Candida albicans.<br />Conclusions: Apoptosis can be detected in clinical strains of Candida albicans, the mechanism of apoptosis needs further research for the purpose of developing new antifungal drugs.
