Biofilm extracellular DNA enhances mixed species biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymicrobial infections are responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in adults and children. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans are the most frequent combination of organisms isolated from polymicrobial infections. Vascular indwelling catheters are sites for mixed species biofilm formation and pose a significant risk for polymicrobial infections. We hypothesized that...
