Candida, a commensal and opportunistic fungal pathogen has been typically known for its
biofilm forming ability and device-associated hospital acquired infections in human. The …

Objectives: Fungal infections in immunocompromised patients have been contributing to the
increasing morbidity and mortality of these patients, especially associated to yeast …

Biofilms are microbial colonies that are encased in an organic polymeric matrix and are
resistant to antimicrobial treatments. Biofilms can adhere to both biotic and abiotic surfaces …

Hypothesis Secretion of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes such as secreted aspartyl
proteinases (SAP) and biofilm formation are considered as important virulence determinants …

Purpose: The pathogenicity in Candida spp was attributed by several virulence factors such
as production of tissue damaging extracellular enzymes, germ tube formation, hyphal …

Candida species are opportunistic fungal pathogens, which are known for their biofilm
associated infections on implanted medical devices in clinical settings. Broad spectrum …

Background: Biofilm formation by Candida albicans is a significant clinical challenge. Fungal
biofilms are resistant to most of the currently available antifungal agents. Amphotericin-B …

Candida species are pleomorphic, commensal fungi associated with candidiasis. The
extracellular hydrolytic-secreted aspartyl proteinases are recognized as chief agents for …

Aim The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different silver nanoparticles (SN)
concentrations on the matrix composition and structure of Candida albicans and Candida …

Aim: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the size‐dependent antifungal activity of
different silver nanoparticles (SN) colloidal suspensions against Candida albicans and …
