Biofilms define mono‐or multispecies communities embedded in a self‐produced protective
matrix, which is strongly attached to surfaces. They often are considered a general threat not
only in industry but also in medicine. They constitute a permanent source of contamination,
and they can disturb the proper usage of the material onto which they develop. This paper

Biofilms define mono‐ or multispecies communities embedded in a self‐produced protective matrix, which is strongly attached to surfaces. They often are considered a general threat not only in industry but also in medicine. They constitute a permanent source of contamination, and they can disturb the proper usage of the material onto which they develop. This paper relates to some of the most recent approaches that have been elaborated to eradicate Candida biofilms, based on the vast effort put in ever‐improving models of biofilm formation in vitro and in vivo, including novel flow systems, high‐throughput techniques and mucosal models. Mixed biofilms, sustaining antagonist or beneficial cooperation between species, and their interplay with the host immune system are also prevalent topics. Alternative strategies against biofilms include the lock therapy and immunotherapy approaches, and material coating and improvements. The host‐biofilm interactions are also discussed, together with their potential applications in Candida biofilm elimination.
