The ability of Candida spp. to form biofilms is crucial for its pathogenicity, and thus, it should
be considered an important virulence factor in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent …

The theory of persisting independent and isolated regarding microorganisms is no longer

When living in biological and interactive communities, microorganisms use quorum-sensing
mechanisms for their communication. According to cell density, bacteria and fungi can …

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 …

The number of effective therapeutic strategies against biofilms is limited; development of
novel therapies is urgently needed to treat a variety of biofilm-associated infections. Quorum …

The present in vitro study examined the effects of the quorum-sensing molecules farnesol
and tyrosol on the development of Candida albicans biofilm in order to elucidate their role as …

The spreading of multidrug-resistant Candida auris is considered as an emerging global
health threat. The number of effective therapeutic regimens is strongly limited; therefore …

In the present study, tyrosol-functionalized chitosan gold nanoparticles (Chi-TY-AuNPs)
were prepared as an alternative treatment strategy to combat fungal infections. Various …

Many human fungal pathogens are opportunistic. They are primarily benign residents of the
