We previously identified a decapeptide from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, OSIP108,
which is induced upon fungal pathogen infection. In this study, we demonstrated that …

Candida species represent the main cause of opportunistic fungal infections worldwide, and
Candida albicans remains the most common etiological agent of candidiasis, now the third …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic human pathogen that can form a biofilm on biotic or
inert surfaces such as epithelia and clinical devices. In this study, we examine the formation …

Fungi have become increasingly significant determinants of human health and may cause
as heavy a burden to health as viruses, bacteria and parasites. This outcome has occurred …

This new book highlights some of the exciting research that has recently been done in the
important and far-ranging field of biofilms and microbial agents. It discusses antimicrobial …

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) combines a photosensitizer with light in the presence of
oxygen, producing reactive oxygen species which will inactivate pathogens. The most …

Candida species are the fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections.
An increase in the frequency of infections which have become refractory to standard …

The adhesion properties of microorganisms, which involve adhering of the microbe to other
cells, tissues or solid substrates, have been the focus of wide ranging scientific and …

Candida albicans is the most numerous commensal and potentially pathological yeast in the
human oral cavity. Here we investigate the ability of C. albicans to form a biofilm on human …

A fault tree methodology has been used to analyze the combinations of basic factors
involved in fungal degradation and corrosion. The purpose was to demonstrate the …
