Antifungal resistance has been associated with biofilm formation in many microorganisms,
but not yet in Malassezia pachydermatis. This saprophytic yeast can cause otitis and …

C andida species (spp) are commensal yeast that can only instigate oral infection (oral
candidosis–OC) when there is an underlying predisposing condition in the host. We …

In this study, ZnHAp layers deposited on a Si substrate were obtained by a sol–gel spin-
coating procedure. The ZnHAp solutions used to obtain the ZnHAp coatings were …

Biofilm formation is one of the most important attributes for virulence in C andida species
and contributes to increased resistance to antifungal drugs and host immune mechanisms …

Nonhealing chronic wounds are all unique in origin and circumstance, and attempting to
isolate a single etiology for the failure of a wound to heal is daunting. Wounds represent …

Intravascular device‐related infections are often associated with biofilms (microbial
communities encased within polysaccharide‐rich extracellular matrix) formed by pathogens …

The sol-gel method was used to synthesize the silver doped hydroxyapatite (Ag: HAp) gels
in order to produce the antifungal composite layers. The pure Ti disks were used as the …

Background Bacterial biofilms have been implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
However, direct evidence in support of fungal biofilms in sinus disease is lacking in the …

Background Candida biofilms, which are often associated with device-related infections,
including catheter-related bloodstream infections, are resistant to commonly used antifungal …

Medically important fungal infections can be broadly classified into superficial surface
infections and invasive mycoses (Samaranayake and MacFarlane, 1990; Roemer and …
