The Candida albicans Biofilm Matrix: Composition, Structure and Function
A majority of infections caused by Candida albicans-the most frequent fungal pathogen-are associated with biofilm formation. A salient feature of C. albicans biofilms is the presence of the biofilm matrix. This matrix is composed of exopolymeric materials secreted by sessile cells within the biofilm, in which all classes of macromolecules are represented, and provides protection against environ...
متن کاملMatrix vesicles: structure, composition, formation and function in calcification.
Matrix vesicles (MVs) induce calcification during endochondral bone formation. Experimental methods for structural, compositional, and functional analysis of MVs are reviewed. MV proteins, enzymes, receptors, transporters, regulators, lipids and electrolytes are detailed. MV formation is considered from both structural and biochemical perspectives. Confocal imaging of Ca(2+) and H(+) were used ...
متن کاملQuantification of biofilm structure from confocal imaging
What is a biofilm ? In microbiology, knowledge has traditionally been gained from studies of suspensions of cells grown from a single cell in laboratory culture plates. These free-floating or “planctonic” cells have for instance been used in studies of how well antibiotics can kill bacteria. However, microbes can also aggregate as biofilms – i.e. organized layers of cells attached to a surface....
متن کاملBiofilms of non-Candida albicans Candida species: quantification, structure and matrix composition.
Most cases of candidiasis have been attributed to C. albicans, but recently, non- Candida albicans Candida (NCAC) species have been identified as common pathogens. The ability of Candida species to form biofilms has important clinical repercussions due to their increased resistance to antifungal therapy and the ability of yeast cells within the biofilms to withstand host immune defenses. Given ...
متن کاملSalmonella Extracellular Matrix Components Influence Biofilm Formation and Gallbladder Colonization.
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever in humans, forms biofilms encapsulated by an extracellular matrix (ECM). Biofilms facilitate colonization and persistent infection in gallbladders of humans and mouse models of chronic carriage. Individual roles of matrix components have not been completely elucidated in vitro or in vivo To examine individual functions, str...
