Characterization of Biofilm Formation and the Role of <i>BCR1</i> in Clinical Isolates of Candida parapsilosis

Abstract excerpt

In Candida parapsilosis, biofilm formation is considered to be a major virulence factor. Previously, we determined the ability of 33 clinical isolates causing bloodstream infection to form biofilms and identified three distinct groups of biofilm-forming strains (negative, low, and high). Here, we establish two different biofilm structures among strains forming large amounts of biofilm in which strains with...
