Polymicrobial Biofilms and Their Control Using Natural Agents
Biofilms are microbial communities that show surface association and are enclosed in a matrix of Exopolysaccharide (EPS). It is now estimated that a significant proportion of all human microbial infections involve biofilm formation. Candida species are commensals of humans, which under stressful conditions becomes an opportunistic pathogen causing candidiasis. Biofilm formation also occurs on i...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Polymicrobial Biofilms
In polymicrobial biofilms a high level of interspecies interactions occur with often detrimental effect to the host. Many chronic infections are attributed to polymicrobial biofilms which tend to exhibit increased resistance to antimicrobial therapy. Yet despite the gravity of such infections, areas of study in polymicrobial diseases are in their infancy. Thus, much work is needed to promote a ...
متن کاملFungal Biofilms and Polymicrobial Diseases
Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor for pathogenic fungi. Both yeasts and filamentous fungi can adhere to biotic and abiotic surfaces, developing into highly organized communities that are resistant to antimicrobials and environmental conditions. In recent years, new genera of fungi have been correlated with biofilm formation. However, Candida biofilms remain the most widely stud...
متن کاملDiseases Associated with Oral Polymicrobial Biofilms
The human body can be defined as a symbiotic interaction between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. The body contains approximately ten times more microbial cells than mammalian cells. Fortunately, a large segment of the microbiome is both helpful and non-harmful, and constitutes the normal microbiome throughout the entire body. The digestive tract and the skin are the most microbial-rich ...
متن کاملPolymicrobial Candida biofilms: friends and foe in the oral cavity.
The role of polymicrobial biofilm infections in medicine is becoming more apparent. Increasing number of microbiome studies and deep sequencing has enabled us to develop a greater understanding of how positive and negative microbial interactions influence disease outcomes. An environment where this is particularly pertinent is within the oral cavity, a rich and diverse ecosystem inhabited by bo...
