title: [The cellular acid phosphatase activity in yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida exposed to ultrasound, polyene antibiotics and dyes].
abstract: The activity of one of the lysosomal membrane marker enzymes--acid phosphatase from the Candida yeast fungi on their exposure to ultrasound (US), polyenic antibiotics (amphotericin B and nystatin) dye antiseptics (ethacridine lactate, methylene blue), and their combinations was assayed. The impact of US and the drugs, in particular their combination, was found to be followed by activation of the fungal lysosomal apparatus function and increases in their catabolic processes. The highest rise in lysosomal catabolic activity was found when the polyenic antibiotics were used in combination with US, which reflects the higher damaging effect of this combination against Candida lysosomal membranes than the dyes and of these antibiotics and US alone. The studies provide strong evidence for the preference of the combined use of US and the polyenic antibiotics in candidiasis as a factor enhancing their fungicidal effect against Candida yeast fungi.
