The formation of biofilms by Candida and the increasing resistance of Candida species to
antifungals contribute to the high recurrence rates of denture stomatitis. This increase has …

Treatment of mucocutaneous and cutaneous Candida albicans infections with
photosensitizing agents and light, termed photodynamic therapy (PDT), offers an alternative …

Background: Candida spp. is the main fungal genus related to infections in humans, and its
treatment has become a challenge due to the production of biofilm and its resistance/multi …

The aim of this study is to compare antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against
Candida albicans biofilms formed on two different substrates-acrylic resin or bottom of …

Background The aim of this study is to investigate the photoinactivation of C. albicans biofilm
on acrylic resin discs (the standard material for dental prosthesis) using the photosensitizers …

Background: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy is an interesting alternative for the
treatment of superficial mucocutaneous mycoses. In immunodeficient patients, these …

Background The eradication of C. albicans is difficult due to the organization of the yeast in
biofilms. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proposed as an alternative to antifungals …

Background In this study, the photoinactivation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been
investigated on Candida albicans biofilms in vitro. Methods After culture and proliferation of …

Background: Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungus, an etiological agent of human
infections, presenting high rates of morbidity and mortality. The resistance of C. albicans to …

Abstract Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as a means to
treat Candida infections. However, microorganisms in biofilms are less susceptible to aPDT …
