Description :
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 to grow as a biofilm is an important feature that promotes both infection and persistence in the host. The biofilms’ acti...

Insights into Candida tropicalis nosocomial infections and virulence factors
Description :
Candida tropicalis is considered the first or the second non-Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species most frequently isolated from candidosis, mainly in patients admitted in intensive care units (ICUs), especially with cancer, requiring prolonged catheterization, or receiving broad-spectrum antibiot...

Description :
Staphylococcus epidermidis is at the moment one of the main responsible
microorganisms for nosocomial infections due to the colonization of indwelling medical
devices and its biofilm forming ability. The reason for that relies on the very low
sensibility of biofilms to antibiotics when compared to p...

Comparison of the extracellular polymeric substances of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis biofilms
Description :
Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis live as benign commensal organisms in the oral cavity of both healthy and unhealthy individuals behaving, under certain conditions, as opportunistic pathogens, causing candidiasis. These two Candida species have been mismatched for years, but recently Candid...

Description :
The number of infections caused by Candida species has greatly increased in the
past ten years. This has been attributed with an increase in the number of AIDS
patients, the elderly population and immunocompromised patients. Moreover, the
increased use of indwelling medical devices has also been imp...

Oliveira, R., 1952-
Description :
The aim of this work was to compare the glucose
uptake of biofilms formed by four different Staphylococcus
epidermidis strains as well as to compare between
sessile and planktonic cells of the same strain. Biofilm cells
showed a lower level of glucose uptake compared to
planktonic cells. Moreover, g...
