Biofilm production in Candida spp. can be studied by measuring the biomass produced after
application of crystal violet stain or by measuring metabolic activity with XTT. Our study is the …

Candida species are the fourth most common cause of nosocomial invasive infections.
Biofilm formation is recognised as one virulence factor of Candida species. A total of 243 …

Background Candidaemia is a common life‐threatening disease among hospitalised
patients, but the effect of the Candida biofilm‐forming ability on the clinical outcome remains …

Nosocomial Candida bloodstream infections rank among infections with highest mortality
rates. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted at Catholic University Hospital to …

Candidosis has been attributed to C. albicans; however, infections caused by non-Candida
albicans Candida (NCAC) species are increasingly being recognised. The ability of Candida …

Candida cells can form biofilms that frequently are sources of infections and are less
susceptible to antifungal drugs. Some authors have reported that Candida orthopsilosis and …

This study aimed to determine the predictors of persistent candidemia and examine the
impact of biofilm formation by Candida isolates in adult patients with candidemia. Of the …

Candida albicans and, more recently, non-C. albicans Candida spp. are considered the
most frequent fungi in hospitals. This study analyzed Candida spp. isolates and compared …

Purpose: The biofilm of organisms can be considered as a virulence factor because of the
resistance towards antimicrobial agents. Formation of Candida biofilms are observed in …

Biofilm production has been implicated as a potential virulence factor of some Candida
species responsible for catheter-related fungemia in patients receiving parenteral nutrition …
