The use of indwelling medical devices (eg pacemakers, prosthetic joints, catheters, etc)
continues to increase, yet these devices are all too often complicated by infections with …

We assessed the activities of amphotericin B deoxycholate, liposomal amphotericin B,
fluconazole, and SCH 39304 against 10 strains of Trichosporon beigelii in mice with …

Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and ex vivo biofilm-forming ability
of dermatophytes on a nail fragment. Methodology. Initially, four isolates of Trichophyton …

Trichosporon beigelii is a fungus once thought to cause only superficial infections, but
recently has been increasingly identified as an opportunistic systemic pathogen in …

The ability to form biofilms is a common feature of microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi.
These consortiums can colonize a variety of surfaces, such as host tissues, dentures, and …

Little is known about fungal biofilms, which may cause infection and antibiotic resistance. In
this study, biofilm formation by different Candida species, particularly Candida albicans and …

Background Microorganisms of different species interact in several ecological niches, even
causing infection. During the infectious process, a biofilm of single or multispecies can …

Trichosporon beigelii caused fatal disseminated infections that were resistant to
amphotericin B in two granulocytopenic patients. In vitro susceptibility studies demonstrated …

Objectives Biofilm studies have been mostly dedicated to the major human fungal pathogen
Candida albicans, whereas much less is known about this virulence factor in Candida …

Candida albicans remains the most frequent cause of fungal infections in an expanding
population of compromised patients and candidiasis is now the third most common infection …
