Application of fungal fluorescent staining in oral candidiasis: diagnostic analysis of 228 specimens.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the genome of H. pylori 26695, 149 proteins containing the CXXC motif characteristic of thioldisulfide oxidoreductases have been identified to date. However, only two of these proteins have a thioredoxin-like fold (i.e., HP0377 and HP0231) and are periplasm-located. We have previously shown that HP0231 is...
