Article Abstract
In this study, the effects of Clove oil (CEO) on biofilm formation of () were investigated using XTT and crystal violet staining methods. The therapeutic efficacy of CEO was studied using ICR mouse model with candida vaginitis. The potential targets and pathways of the CEO's effect against were predicted by network pharmacology. The relative gene levels of CDC42, Ste11, Hst7, CEK1, and CPH1 were evaluated by qPCR. Subsequently, the protein levels of CDC42, CEK1, and p-CEK1 were determined by Western blot. The results indicated CEO can inhibit adhesion, mycelium formation and biofilm maturation process. By regulating the related genes and proteins, the CEO can inhibit biofilm maturation process, and weaken the ability of to cause disease. For candida vaginitis ICR mouse model, CEO can lower inflammatory cytokines levels, alleviated the symptoms of vaginitis, and play a good therapeutic effect.

Background: Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is a condition commonly caused by . It is the second most common infection of the female genitalia affecting many women worldwide. Studies have identified unhealthy genital care practices to be associated with the infection among women including expectant mothers.

Mixed vaginal infection involves the simultaneous presence of at least two types of vaginitis, including bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), BV and (TV), or TV and VVC. This condition disrupts the vaginal milieu, resulting in significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, recurrent infections, and increased antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to assess the mixed vaginal infections and their predictors among women with abnormal vaginal discharges attending gynecological clinics in western Uganda.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), caused by the commensal pathobiont affects >75% of women, marring quality of life and incurring significant health costs. Estrogen (E2) activity is tightly linked to VVC susceptibility, and preclinical models employ E2 to establish vaginal colonization. Unlike most forms of candidiasis, VVC is not considered to be a condition of immune compromise.

complex species are the main cause of candidiasis. The purpose of this study was to report the prevalence and genetic diversity of complex using hyphal wall protein 1 (HWP1) gene size polymorphism, as well as the susceptibility patterns to fluconazole and voriconazole. A total of 170 yeast isolates were obtained from vulvovaginal samples, and phenotypic and proteomic identification was performed.
