The role of penetration limitation in Candida biofilm-associated antifungal resistance
remains unclear. Most of the previous work has been done on Candida albicans, although …

Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen, causing infections that
range from mucous membranes to systemic infections. The present article provides an …

Candida albicans are the most common fungi associated with biofilm‐related infections.
Biofilms are defined as microbial communities encased in a matrix of extracellular polymeric …

Biofilms formed by Candida albicans on small discs of catheter material were resistant to the
action of five clinically important antifungal agents as determined by [3H] leucine …

Matrix material was extracted from biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis and
analysed chemically. Both preparations contained carbohydrate, protein, hexosamine …

Device-related infections in most nosocomial diseases can be traced to the formation of
biofilms (microbial communities encased within polysaccharide-rich extracellular matrix) by …

Candida infections (candidiasis) are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection on
humans and, as such, a major public health problem. In recent decades, candidiasis has …

Aims: To study the interactions between Candida albicans and 12 other species of Candida
and bacteria in biofilms. Methods and Results: The number of cells within growing biofilms in …

Background: Candida species are now recognized as major causative agents of
hospitalacquired infection. Aims: To evaluate the species distribution, biofilm formation, and …

Extracellular polymeric material (EP), comprising the matrix of Candida albicans biofilms,
was isolated and its composition was compared with that of EP obtained from culture …
