Methods for obtaining reliable and reproducible results in studies of Candida biofilms formed in vitro
(2013-05-31)
Biofilm formation is one of the most important attributes for virulence in Candida species and contributes to increased resistance to antifungal drugs and host immune mechanisms. These features have led to the development ...
Effects of pH and fluoride concentration of dentifrices on fluoride levels in saliva, biofilm, and biofilm fluid in vivo
(Springer, 2015-09-04)
Acidic dentifrices have been shown to be more effective than neutral ones against dental caries using in vitro, in situ, and clinical protocols. Given the scarcity of studies assessing intraoral fluoride (F) retention after ...
Candida/Candida biofilms. First description of dual-species Candida albicans/C. rugosa biofilm
(2016-04-01)
Denture liners have physical properties that favour plaque accumulation and colonization by Candida species, irritating oral tissues and causing denture stomatitis. To isolate and determine the incidence of oral Candida ...
Staphylococcal biofilm on the surface of catheters: Electron microscopy evaluation of the inhibition of biofilm growth by rnaiii inhibiting peptide
(2021-07-01)
Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the main causative agents of medical device-related infections due to their biofilm-forming capability, which protects them from the host’s ...
Extrato de Rosmarinus Officinalis l. (Alecrim) reduz a viabilidade de biofilmes de interesse para saúde bucal
(2017-01-01)
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of rosemary extract on Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa monomicrobial biofilms viability, as well ...
Highlights in pathogenic fungal biofilms
(Asociacion Espanola Micologia-aem, 2014-01-31)
A wide variety of fungi have demonstrated the ability to colonize surfaces and form biofilms. Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida albicans and more recently, several authors have reported the involvement ...
Activity of sodium trimetaphosphate, associated or not with fluoride, on dual-species biofilms
(2019-07-03)
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 ...
Streptococcus mutans and actinomyces naeslundii interaction in dual-species biofilm
(2020-02-01)
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 ...
Proanthocyanidins polymeric tannin from Stryphnodendron adstringens are active against Candida albicans biofilms
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Abstract
Background
Biofilm formation is important in Candida albicans pathogenesis and constitutes a mechanism of antifungal resistance. Thus, we evaluated the effect of ...
In vitro characterization of Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes biofilms
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-01-01)
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 ...
