RNA-Seq Reveals Enhanced Sugar Metabolism in Streptococcus mutans Co-cultured with Candida albicans within Mixed-Species Biofilms
Early childhood caries (ECC), which can lead to rampant tooth-decay that is painful and costly to treat, is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases affecting children worldwide. Previous studies support that interactions between Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are associated with the pathogenesis of ECC. The presence of Candida enhances S. mutans growth, fitness and accumulation...
متن کاملCandida albicans Biofilms: More Than Filamentation
Candida albicans is the fungal species most commonly associated with biofilm formation in immunosuppressed patients. Recent work offers a fresh new look at the role of filamentation in C. albicans biofilm formation, and describes the application of a powerful tool for the molecular dissection of these important developmental processes.
متن کاملCandida Species Biofilms’ Antifungal Resistance
Candida infections (candidiasis) are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection on humans and, as such, a major public health problem. In recent decades, candidiasis has been associated to Candida species other than Candida albicans. Moreover, biofilms have been considered the most prevalent growth form of Candida cells and a strong causative agent of the intensification of antifungal re...
متن کاملMicrobial interactions and differential protein expression in Staphylococcus aureus –Candida albicans dual-species biofilms
The fungal species Candida albicans and the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus are responsible for a majority of hospital-acquired infections and often coinfect critically ill patients as complicating polymicrobial biofilms. To investigate biofilm structure during polymicrobial growth, dual-species biofilms were imaged with confocal scanning laser microscopy. Analyses revealed a unique bio...
متن کاملSymbiotic relationship between Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans synergizes virulence of plaque biofilms in vivo.
Streptococcus mutans is often cited as the main bacterial pathogen in dental caries, particularly in early-childhood caries (ECC). S. mutans may not act alone; Candida albicans cells are frequently detected along with heavy infection by S. mutans in plaque biofilms from ECC-affected children. It remains to be elucidated whether this association is involved in the enhancement of biofilm virulenc...
