Aims Focusing on phytochemicals to target the virulence factors of Candida albicans is a
promising avenue for novel antifungal compounds. Given the limited prior research on …

Candida albicans (C. albicans) biofilm-related diseases remain a major challenge for
clinicians due to the formidable and increasing resistance to commonly used antifungal …

The rise in resistance and changes in the spectrum of Candida infections have generated
enormous interest in developing new antifungal drugs using natural molecules such as plant …

Plant-based essential oils are promising anti-virulence agents against the multidrug-
resistant opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans. Gas chromatography–mass …

Candida albicans is part of the normal human flora but is most frequently isolated as the
causative opportunistic pathogen of candidiasis. Plant-based essential oils and their …

Candida albicans is the causative agent of fatal systemic candidiasis. Due to limitations of
antifungals, new drugs are needed. The anti-virulence effect of plant essential oils (EOs) …

Background Recurrence and resistance of Candida spp. infections is associated with the
ability of these microorganisms to present several virulence patterns such as …

Candida albicans:(C. alb icans) is a prevalent opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe
mucosal and systemic fungal infections, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates …

Management of oral candidosis, most frequently caused by Candida albicans, is limited due
to the relatively low number of antifungal drugs and the emergence of antifungal tolerance …

Candida albicans can form biofilms composed of yeast, hyphal, and pseudohyphal
elements, and C. albicans cells in the hyphal stage could be a virulence factor. The present …
