AI-2 of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans inhibits Candida albicans biofilm formation
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, a Gram-negative bacterium, and Candida albicans, a polymorphic fungus, are both commensals of the oral cavity but both are opportunistic pathogens that can cause oral diseases. A. actinomycetemcomitans produces a quorum-sensing molecule called autoinducer-2 (AI-2), synthesized by LuxS, that plays an important role in expression of virulence factors, in int...

The ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of biofilm formation by Candida albicans.
A variety of manifestations of Candida albicans infections are associated with the formation of biofilms on the surface of biomaterials. Cells in biofilms display phenotypic traits that are dramatically different from their free-floating planktonic counterparts, such as increased resistance to anti-microbial agents and protection form host defenses. Here, we describe the characteristics of C. a...
متن کاملPrevention of Candida albicans Biofilm Formation
Biofilm formation is often considered to be the underlying reason why treatment with an antimicrobial agent fails and as an estimated 65-80% of all infections is thought to be biofilm-related, this presents a serious challenge. Considerable attention has been devoted to the development of modified materials that prevent (or at least drastically reduce) microbial biofilm formation. In this revie...
متن کاملA Lactobacillus-derived biosurfactant inhibits biofilm formation of human pathogenic Candida albicans biofilm producers
Fifteen lactic-acid bacteria, isolated from fresh fruits and vegetables produced biosurfactants in the mid-exponential phase (5 hours). Twelve isolates were genotipically identified to belong to the genus Lactobacillus. Among these, the Lactobacillus sp. CV8LAC, isolated from cabbage, showed the largest oil spreading halo. Extracted CV8LAC biosurfactant reduced the water surface tension from 70...
