In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host
cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this …

The presence of fungal infections continue to grow worldwide, mostly in immunosuppressed
patients, and in individuals with continued antimicrobial treatments. Candida spp. are the …

C andida albicans biofilms are composed of highly adherent and densely arranged cells
with properties distinct from those of free‐floating (planktonic) cells. These biofilms are a …

Candida albicans can form biofilms composed of yeast, hyphal, and pseudohyphal
elements, and C. albicans cells in the hyphal stage could be a virulence factor. The present …

The main goal of the paper is to enhance the resistance to the bacteria of the hydroxyapatite
deposited on Ti6Al4V alloy substrate. Hydroxyapatite coatings, enriched with SiC and Ag …

Candida albicans is a leading cause of intravascular catheter-related infections. The
capacity for biofilm formation has been proposed to contribute to the persistence of this …

The large mortality and morbidity rate of C. albicans infections is a crucial problem in
medical mycology. Because the generation of biofilms and drug resistance are growing …

Invasive candidiasis is a serious, progressive, and potentially deadly infection that can affect
