The rise in the use of biomedical devices and implants has seen a concomitant surge in the
advent of device‐related nosocomial (hospital‐acquired) infections of bacterial and fungal …

Biofilms, likely the predominant mode of device-related microbial infection, exhibit resistance
to antimicrobial agents. Evidence suggests that Candida biofilms have dramatically reduced …

Candida albicans is implicated in many biomaterial-related infections. Typically, these
infections are associated with biofilm formation. Cells in biofilms display phenotypic traits …

Device-related infections in most nosocomial diseases can be traced to the formation of
biofilms (microbial communities encased within a polysaccharide-rich extracellular matrix) …

Candida albicans is capable of forming biofilms on a variety of inert and biological surfaces.
Cells in biofilms display phenotypic properties that are radically different from their free …

Candida albicans remains the most frequent cause of fungal infections in an expanding
population of compromised patients and candidiasis is now the third most common infection …

Candida albicans is a normal member of the human microbiota that asymptomatically
colonizes healthy individuals, however it is also an opportunistic pathogen that can cause …

Candida albicans biofilms have a significant medical impact due to their rapid growth on
implanted medical devices, their resistance to antifungal drugs, and their ability to seed …

Biofilms are a protected niche for microorganisms, where they are safe from antibiotic
treatment and can create a source of persistent infection. Using two clinically relevant …

Candida biofilm development can be influenced by diverse factors such as substrate, culture
medium, carbohydrate source and pH. We have analysed biofilm formation of Candida …
