A wide variety of fungi have demonstrated the ability to colonize surfaces and form biofilms.
Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida albicans and more recently …

Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor for pathogenic fungi. Both yeasts and
filamentous fungi can adhere to biotic and abiotic surfaces, developing into highly organized …

Fungal biofilms are an escalating clinical problem associated with significant rates of
mortality. Candida albicans is the most notorious of all fungal biofilm formers. However, non …

The discovery of biofilm formation in bacteria and yeasts has led to a better understanding of
microbial ecology and to new insights into the mechanisms of virulence and persistence of …

Worldwide, the number of infections caused by biofilm-forming fungal pathogens is very
high. In human medicine, there is an increasing proportion of immunocompromised patients …

Fungal biofilms have become an increasingly important clinical problem. The widespread
use of antibiotics, frequent use of indwelling medical devices, and a trend toward increased …

A key feature of biofilms is their production of an extracellular matrix. This material covers the
biofilm cells, providing a protective barrier to the surrounding environment. During an …

Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida in yeasts and Aspergillus in
mycelial fungi. To the authors' knowledge, biofilm formation by zygomycetes has not been …

Denture liners have physical properties that favour plaque accumulation and colonization by
Candida species, irritating oral tissues and causing denture stomatitis. To isolate and …

The ability to form biofilms is a common feature of microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi.
These consortiums can colonize a variety of surfaces, such as host tissues, dentures, and …
