(+)-10-Methyldodecanoic acid and 12-methyltridecanoic acid have been isolated from the acid fraction of wool wax. These acids have a high inhibitory activity against Gram positive bacteria, but not against Gram negatives or fungi. A steric relationship with the Gram positive cell wall surface is suggested.

ABSTRACT Candida albicans is a commensal dimorphic yeast of the digestive tract that causes hematogenously disseminated infections in immunocompromised individuals. Endogenous invasive candidiasis develops from C. albicans adhering to the intestinal epithelium. Adherence is mediated by the cell wall surface, a domain composed essentially of mannopyranosyl residues bound to proteins, the N-linked moiety of which comprises sequences of α-1,2- and β-1,2-linked mannose residues. β-1,2-linked mannosides are also associated with a glycolipid, phospholipomannan, at the C. albicans surface. In order to determine the roles of β-1,2 and α-1,2 oligomannosides in the C. albicans-enterocyte interaction, we developed a model of adhesion of C. albicans VW32 blastospores to the apical regions of differentiated Caco-2 cells. Preincubation of yeasts with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for α-1,2 andβ -1,2 mannan epitopes resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in adhesion (50% of the control with a 60-μg/ml MAb concentration). In competitive assays β-1,2 and α-1,2 tetramannosides were the most potent carbohydrate inhibitors, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 2.58 and 6.99 mM, respectively. Immunolocalization on infected monolayers with MAbs specific forα -1,2 and β-1,2 oligomannosides showed that these epitopes were shed from the yeast to the enterocyte surface. Taken together, our data indicate that α-1,2 and β-1,2 oligomannosides are involved in the C. albicans-enterocyte interaction and participate in the adhesion of the yeasts to the mucosal surface.
