Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical
problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment …

The ubiquitous Candida spp. is an opportunistic fungal pathogen which, despite treatment
with antifungal drugs, can cause fatal bloodstream infections (BSIs) in immunocompromised …

Introduction The medical use of non-thermal physical plasmas is intensively investigated for
sterilization and surface modification of biomedical materials. A further promising application …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) combines a non-toxic dye, termed
photosensitizer, which is activated by visible light of appropriate wavelength which will …

Biofilms define mono‐or multispecies communities embedded in a self‐produced protective
matrix, which is strongly attached to surfaces. They often are considered a general threat not …

Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, and C. tropicalis are able to form biofilms on
virtually any biomaterial implanted in a human host. Biofilms are a primary cause of mortality …

Bacteriophages have been known to be present in the gut for many years, but studies of
relationships between these viruses and their hosts in the intestine are still in their infancy …

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties and cytotoxicity of the
monomer methacryloyloxyundecylpyridinium bromide (MUPB), an antiseptic agent capable …

Candida species have two distinct lifestyles: planktonic, and surface-attached communities
called biofilms. Mature C. albicans biofilms show a complex three-dimensional architecture …

The consequences of deprivation of the molecular chaperone Hsp104 in the fungal
pathogen Candida albicans were investigated. Mutants lacking HSP104 became …
