Candida grows on devices producing treatment resistant biofilms. A key tool for the study of
biofilms includes an accurate assessment of viable cell growth. This study systematically …

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 …

Candida albicans is capable of forming biofilms on a variety of inert and biological surfaces.
Cells in biofilms display phenotypic properties that are radically different from their free …

Candida albicans is implicated in many biomaterial-related infections. Typically, these
infections are associated with biofilm formation. Cells in biofilms display phenotypic traits …

Abstract Development of Candida spp. biofilms on medical devices such as catheters and
voice prosthesis has been recognized as an increasing clinical problem. Simple device …

Candida biofilms are a major virulence trait for this yeast. In this study, the biofilm-forming
ability of the major medically important clinical and laboratory reference strains was …

The human fungal pathogen Candida is able to form biofilms in almost all the medical
devices in current use. Indeed, biofilm formation is a major virulence attribute of …

For laboratories with limited resources the economical study of Candida spp. biofilms tends
to lend itself to unsophisticated models that negate the requirement for expert handling or …

Candida spp. biofilms can be established on a wide range of materials, including implanted
medical devices, and can display a resistant phenotype to antifungal drugs. Several factors …

Candida spp. infect medical devices, such as venous and urinary catheters, by adhering to
the surface and forming a community of drug-resistant cells surrounded by a matrix. The …
