In the last decades, Candida albicans has served as the leading causal agent of life-
threatening invasive infections with mortality rates approaching 40% despite treatment …

Candida tropicalis has emerged as one of the most important Candida species. It has been
widely considered the second most virulent Candida species, only preceded by C. albicans …

Like other microorganisms, free-living Candida albicans is mainly present in a three-
dimensional multicellular structure, which is called a biofilm, rather than in a planktonic form …

Candida biofilms are tolerant to conventional antifungal therapeutics and the host immune
system. The transition of yeast cells to hyphae is considered a key step in C. albicans biofilm …

Polymicrobial biofilms are of large medical importance, but relatively little is known about the
role of interspecies interactions for their physiology and virulence. Here, we studied two …

Only few Candida species, eg, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida dubliniensis,
and Candida parapsilosis, are successful colonizers of a human host. Under certain …

The use of indwelling devices in current therapeutic practice is associated with hospital‐
acquired bloodstream and deep tissue infections (1). Transplantation medical procedures …

Candida albicans is a gut commensal and opportunistic pathogen. The transition between
yeast and invasive hyphae is central to virulence but has unknown functions during …

Genotype-phenotype relationships can vary extensively among members of a species. One
cause of this variation is circuit diversification, the alteration of gene regulatory relationships …

A wide variety of fungi have demonstrated the ability to colonize surfaces and form biofilms.
Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida albicans and more recently …
