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 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 …

Background Candida biofilms, which are often associated with device-related infections,
including catheter-related bloodstream infections, are resistant to commonly used antifungal …

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 …

Microtiter based candidal biofilm formation is commonly being used. Here we describe the
analysis of factors influencing the development of candidal biofilms such as the coating with …

Many Candida infections involve biofilm formation on implanted devices such as an
indwelling catheter, a prosthetic heart valve or a denture. Candida biofilms can be formed in …

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 …

Candida albicans is capable of forming biofilms on a variety of inert and biological surfaces.
