Mechanisms of Candida biofilm drug resistance.
Candida commonly adheres to implanted medical devices, growing as a resilient biofilm capable of withstanding extraordinarily high antifungal concentrations. As currently available antifungals have minimal activity against biofilms, new drugs to treat these recalcitrant infections are urgently needed. Recent investigations have begun to shed light on the mechanisms behind the profound resistanc...
متن کامل810 Mechanism of Serum Resistance in Bacteria
Opt imum killing of gram-negative bacteria in serum requires the participation of terminal components of the complement system, presumably through formation of a membrane attack complex (MAC) 1 containing complement components C5b6789 (13). Although it is clear that some gram-negative bacteria are highly resistant to serum killing in the presence of adequate antibody, the mechanism of this resi...
متن کاملAnti-Biofilm Drug Susceptibility Testing Methods: Looking for New Strategies against Resistance Mechanism
Biofilm is a reservoir of drug resistant microorganisms that can increase the failure rate of anti-infective therapy and is a public health concern. Antibiofilm drug discovery is necessary for developing new drugs, biocides and wound management protocols. This makes the standardization and implementation of in vitro antibiofilm screening platforms a challenge in the search for new antibiotics, ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Genetic Diversity of Spontaneous Drug Resistance in Bacteria.
Any pathogen population sufficiently large is expected to harbor spontaneous drug-resistant mutants, often responsible for disease relapse after antibiotic therapy. It is seldom appreciated, however, that while larger populations harbor more mutants, the abundance distribution of these mutants is expected to be markedly uneven. This is because a larger population size allows early mutants to ex...
متن کاملEffects of biofilm formation in bacteria from different perspectives
Bacterial communities are able to form complex and three-dimensional biofilm structures. Biofilm formation is an ancient and integral component of the prokaryotic life cycle and a key factor for survival in diverse niches. In biofilms, bacterial lifestyle changes from free-floating cells to sessile cells. Presence in biofilms gives new traits to bacteria, which distinguish them from free cells....
