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 …

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

Bacterial biofilm formation can cause serious problems in clinical and industrial settings,
which drives the development or screening of biofilm inhibitors. Some biofilm inhibitors have …

Infections caused by Candida species have been increasing in the last decades and can
result in local or systemic infections, with high morbidity and mortality. After Candida …

Mounting evidence indicated the capability of various microorganisms in biosynthesis of
exopolysaccharides (EPSs). A wide range of evidence extensively investigated the ability of …

ABSTRACT Background: Streptococcus mutans (Sm) and Candida albicans (Ca) are found
in biofilms of early childhood caries. Objective: To characterize in vitro dual-and single …

Background and Aims Candida species, especially Candida albicans, are major fungal
pathogens of humans that are capable of causing superficial mucosal infections and …

Biofilm formation and the yeast to hyphal switch are considered to be important virulence
factors of Candida albicans. The present study reports about the potential of usnic acid, a …

In the past, biofilm-related research has focused mainly on axenic biofilms. However, in
nature, biofilms are often composed of multiple species, and the resulting polymicrobial …

Although the main reservoir of Candida spp. is believed to be the buccal mucosa, these
microorganisms can coaggregate with bacteria in subgingival biofilm and adhere to …
