Mannan , occurrence

Although a variety of serologic tests have been proposed for the detection of Candida protein antigens, serum antibodies to Candida, and antibodies to cell wall components such as mannan, no test has demonstrated reliable accuracy in the clinical setting for the diagnosis of disseminated infection with Candida. Only 25% to 45% of neutropenic patients with disseminated candidiasis at autopsy had a positive blood culture with C. albicans prior to death. The interpretation of positive surveillance cultures of the skin, mouth, sputum, feces, or urine is hampered by their occurrence as commensal pathogens and in distinguishing colonization from invasive disease. [Pg.2178]

In recent ten years, xylans and mannans have been studied as potential raw materials for biodegradable films. Sometimes they are blended with other polymers or mixed with nanoparticles to achieve enhanced properties. This chapter covers the occurrence, structure and properties of xylans and mannans as well as recent smdies on xylan- and mannan-based blends, composites, and nanocomposites. [Pg.314]
