Even established antifungals such as azoles can specifically,,,Inhibit hyphal growth. In, our laboratory we examined the.Effects of low levels of azoles on the ability of C. Albicans to.Adhere invade and, damage vaginal epithelial cells. These low.Levels of azoles did not influence yeast growth but effectively,,Inhibited extensive hyphal elongation []. Interestingly 84,Although adhesion to and invasion of vaginal epithelial cells.Were not affected the damage, caused to these cells was greatly.Reduced upon, azole treatment and this was most likely due to.Reduced hyphae formation. These data provide evidence that low.Levels of azoles influence specific activities of C. Albicans during.Distinct stages of epithelial infections and provide a proof of.Principle that inhibition of hypha formation can be used as a.Therapeutic option.
