Since the dawn of civilization, it has been understood that pathogenic microorganisms cause infectious conditions in humans, which at times, may prove fatal. Among the different virulent properties of microorganisms is ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), either with fluoride (F) or without fluoride, on dual-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. The 72 h biofilms were treated ...

Abstract Background Biofilm formation is important in Candida albicans pathogenesis and constitutes a mechanism of antifungal resistance. Thus, we evaluated the effect of ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the QS molecule farnesol on single and mixed species biofilms formed by Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. The anti-biofilm effect of farnesol was assessed through ...

The study of bacterial interaction between Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces naeslundii may disclose important features of biofilm interspecies relationships. The aim of this study was to characterize—with an emphasis ...

O objetivo foi avaliar quais são os mecanismos de Streptococcus mutans e de Candida albicans que contribuem para aumentar a patogenicidade do biofilme misto. Biofilmes mistos e simples das cepas S. mutans UA159 (Sm) e C. ...

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 ...

Candida parapsilosis is yeast capable of forming biofilms on medical devices. Novel approaches for the prevention and eradication of the biofilms are desired. This study investigated the anticandidal activity of sixteen ...

Dermatophytes are fungi responsible for a disease known as dermatophytosis. Biofilms are sessile microbial communities surrounded by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with increased resistance to antimicrobial agents ...
