Candida infection of devices is common and invariably associated with biofilm growth.
Exploratory microarray studies were undertaken to identify target genes associated with …

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 …

The incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly over the past decades. Very
often these infections are associated with biofilm formation on implanted biomaterials and/or …

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 …

The human commensal Candida albicans is the leading fungal colonizer of implanted
medical devices and a frequent cause of nosocomial infections (1, 2). Several Candida …

Objectives Microbial adhesion and biofilms have important implications for human health
and disease. Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen which forms drug-resistant …

The yeasts of the genus Candida are among the most clinically significant fungal pathogenic
agents. One of the unique features of the Candida species' pathogenicity is their ability to …

Candida species cause frequent infections owing to their ability to form biofilms—surface-
associated microbial communities—primarily on implanted medical devices. Increasingly …

Background Candida albicans infections have become increasingly recognised as being
biofilm related. Recent studies have shown that there is a relationship between biofilm …

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