Cross-feeding and interkingdom communication in dual-species biofilms of <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and <i>Candida albicans</i>
13 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Polymicrobial biofilms are of large medical importance, but relatively little is known about the role of interspecies interactions for their physiology and virulence. Here, we studied two human pathogens co-occuring in the oral cavity, the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans and the caries-promoting bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Dual-species biofilms reached higher biomass and cell numbers than mono-species...
