Candida albicans biofilms produce antifungal-tolerant persister cells.
Fungal pathogens form biofilms that are highly recalcitrant to antimicrobial therapy. The expression of multidrug resistance pumps in young biofilms has been linked to increased resistance to azoles, but this mechanism does not seem to underlie the resistance of mature biofilms that is a model of in vivo infection. The mechanism of drug resistance of mature biofilms remains largely unknown. We ...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of antifungal combinations against biofilms and planktonic forms of clinical Trichosporon asahii isolates.
Trichosporon species can cause biofilm-associated infections related to indwelling medical devices, especially intravenous catheters, and unacceptable mortality rates have been reported despite the administration of antifungal treatments (1). Trichosporon asahii can form biofilms with structured microbial communities in vitro, embedded within an extracellular matrix, with significantly increase...

متن کاملUrinary tract infection by Trichosporon asahii.
Trichosporon asahii is a basidiomycetous yeast which causes white piedra and onychomycosis in immunocompetent hosts as well as various localized and disseminated invasive infections in immunodeficient hosts. Urinary tract infection caused by Trichosporon asahii is rare. One month after posterior urethral valve surgery a seven-month-old male child presented with fever, severe vomiting and crying...
