Altered tissue distribution of amphotericin B by liposomal encapsulation Comparison of normal mice and mice infected with Candida albicans. Cancer Drug Deliv., 1, 199-205. 

Candida albicans accounts for 80% of cases of OPC and esophageal candidiasis. Over the last 20 years, an increasing incidence of C. albicans resistance has been accompanied by an increased incidence of non-albicans species infections, including Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei, and Candida parapsilosis. In patients with cancer, non-albicans Candida species account for almost half of all cases.29... 

BS, Bacillus subtilis CA, Candida albicans SA, Staphylococcus aureus SC, Saccharomyces cerevisiae TM, Trichophyton mentagrophytes PN, Penicillium nonatum KB, LOVO (colon cancer), P388 are cell lines in cytotoxic activity testings. 

Women using DMPA have a lower incidence of Candida vulvovaginitis, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometrial and ovarian cancer compared to women using no contraception. The median time to conception from the first omitted dose is 10 months. 

Zeyheria tuberculosa (Veil.) Bur. (Bignoniaceae) is a species used in Brazilian folk medicine for the treatment of cancer and skin diseases. From the extracts of this plant, four flavones namely 5,6,7,8-tetramethoxyflavone, 5,6,7-trimethoxyflavone, 4 -hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetramethoxyflavone and 4 -hydroxy-5,6,7-trimethoxyflavone, were isolated through bioassay-guided fractionation and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity. These results showed that isolated flavones may be particularly useful against two pathogenic microorganisms. Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, which may justify the popular use of this species.

Several species of fungi have been reported to contain hyaluronidases [200-202]. However, without extensive characterization, and in the absence of sequence data, it is difficult to evaluate these enzymes. There is no evidence that fungi contain HA, nor that they are able to uptake this GAG. The hyaluronidases may, however, be virulence factors for these organisms, similar to their function in some bacteria. Considering that opportunistic infections caused by Candida and other fungal organisms are on the increase with the use of wide-spectrum antibiotics, anti-cancer...
