[Cultural, biochemical, cytochemical, pathogenic and morphological aspects (as seen with the scanning microscope) of pathogenic strains of Candida albicans treated with pyrrolnitrin].
The author has analyzed the pyrrolnitrine activity on eighty strains of Candida albicans isolated from hospital patients. On these various strains the M.I.C., the enzymatic activity, the pathogenicity on rabbits, the ability to form clamydospores were determined. Also cytochemical tests, tests on chorioallantoic membrane, absorption tests and morphological analysis at the scanning microscope were performed on these strains. The various findings obtained have shown a strong activity of pyrrolnitrine on the different biological activities of Candida albicans strains used in the present work.
