In Vitro Biofilm Activity of Non-Candida albicans Candida Species

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...

Metabolic activity of Staphylococcus epidermidis in biofilm versus planktonic cells

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...

Biofilm formation ability by non-candida albicans candida species

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...

Staphylococcus epidermidis glucose uptake in biofilm versus planktonic cells

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...
