Dental caries is the most common oral disease. The bacteriological aetiology of dental
caries promotes the use of antibiotics or antimicrobial agents to prevent this type of oral …

It is well known that the opportunistic pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, can form
polymicrobial biofilms with a variety of bacteria, both in vitro and in vivo, and that these …

Mixed-species biofilm is one of the most frequently recorded clinical problems. Mixed
biofilms develop as a result of interactions between microorganisms of a single or multiple …

Microbial communities of the human microbiota exhibit diverse effects on human health and
disease. Microbial homeostasis is important for normal physiological functions and changes …

Background: Existing standardized biofilm assays focus on simple mono-species or
bacterial-only models. Incorporating Candida albicans into complex biofilm models can offer …

Many human fungal pathogens are opportunistic. They are primarily benign residents of the
human body and only become infectious when the host's immunity and microbiome are …

Bacteria and fungi can interact to form inter-kingdom biofilms in the oral cavity.
Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are frequently detected in saliva and in dental …

Under natural environmental settings or in the human body, the majority of microorganisms
exist in complex polymicrobial biofilms adhered to abiotic and biotic surfaces. These …

This study aimed to grow a fungal-bacterial mixed biofilm on medical-grade titanium and
assess the ability of the biosurfactant R89 (R89BS) coating to inhibit biofilm formation …

Polymicrobial biofilms consisting of fungi and bacteria are frequently formed on
endotracheal tubes and may contribute to development of ventilator associated pneumonia …
