The ability of C. albicans to form biofilms is a major virulence factor and a challenge for
management. This is evident in biofilm-associated chronic oral-oesophageal candidosis …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus responsible for candidiasis. The
pathogen readily forms antifungal agent-resistant biofilms on implanted medical devices or …

Candida albicans is one of the most common pathogen causes fungal infections. This
opportunistic pathogen can form biofilms comprised of yeast, hyphae and pseudo hyphal …

In Candida albicans, alcohol metabolism is implicated in biofilm formation. The alcohol
dehydrogenase gene (ADH1) is involved in the conversion of acetaldehyde to ethanol and …

Candida species have emerged as important and common opportunistic human pathogens,
particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The current antifungal therapies either have …

Micafungin is more active against biofilms with high metabolic activity; however, it is
unknown whether this observation applies to caspofungin and anidulafungin and whether it …

Methods: To address the pressing need for new antifungals, we have performed a high-
content screen of 20,000 small molecules in a chemical library (NOVACore) to identify …

The incidence of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans has been increasing worldwide.
Both biofilm and fungal morphogenesis are main virulence factors of C. albicans cells …

Objectives To compare biofilm‐forming ability, hydrolytic enzymes and ethanol‐derived
acetaldehyde production of oral Candida isolated from the patients with oral cancer and …

As the most frequent fungal pathogen in humans, Candida albicans can develop serious
drug resistance because its biofilms are resistant to most antifungal agents; this leads to an …
