All humans are colonized with Candida species, mostly Candida albicans, yet some develop
diseases due to Candida, among which genitourinary manifestations are extremely …

Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical
problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment …

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

Candida commonly adheres to implanted medical devices, growing as a resilient biofilm
capable of withstanding extraordinarily high antifungal concentrations. As currently available …

A biofilm is an organized, resilient group of microbes in which individual cells acquire
properties, such as drug resistance, that are distinct from those observed in suspension …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that are attached to a biological or abiotic
surface and are surrounded by a self-produced extracellular matrix. Cells within a biofilm …

The interaction between Candida albicans and its host cells is characterized by a complex
interplay between the expression of fungal virulence factors, which results in adherence …

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans can form biofilms that protect it from drugs and the
immune system. The biofilm cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that promote …

Pathogenic fungi in the genus Candida can cause both superficial and serious systemic
disease, and are now recognized as major agents of hospital-acquired infection. Many …

Nanoparticles are normally considered to be of a size no greater than 100 nm, and the
exploitation of their unique attributes to combat infection has increased markedly over the …
