Bacteria that attach to surface aggregate in a hydrated polymeric matrix of their own
synthesis to form biofilms. These represent microbial societies with their own defense and …

Candida albicans has developmental programs that govern transitions between yeast and
filamentous morphologies and between unattached and biofilm lifestyles. Here, we report …

This study describes the association of curcumin with light emitting diode (LED) for the
inactivation of Candida albicans. Suspensions of Candida were treated with nine curcumin …

The fungus Candida albicans colonizes human oral cavity surfaces in conjunction with a
complex microflora. C. albicans SC5314 formed biofilms on saliva-coated surfaces that in …

The agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) family of Candida albicans includes eight genes that
encode large cell-surface glycoproteins. The high degree of sequence relatedness between …

Candidemia and other forms of candidiasis are associated with considerable excess
mortality and costs. Despite the addition of several new antifungal agents with improved …

Inspired by the slight acidic microenvironment, a variety of pH-responsive nanomaterials are
designed for highly effective antibacterial therapy by improving the ability of drug penetration …

Candida species, including the novel opportunistic pathogen Candida dubliniensis, are now
emerging as major agents of nosocomial infections. Many such manifestations of infections …

Like many bacteria, yeast species can form biofilms on several surfaces. Candida albicans
colonizes the surfaces of catheters, prostheses, and epithelia, forming biofilms that are …

The fungal component of the intestinal microbiota of eight healthy subjects was studied over
12 months using metagenome survey and culture-based approaches. Aspergillus, Candida …
