Abstract excerpt
Candida infections are frequently associated with formation of biofilms on artificial medical devices. This work studied variation of cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and formation of biofilm in relation to Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis genotypes and an effect of some conventional antifungal agents on both CSH and biofilm. The 50 isolates of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis were classified into...
