Extracellular DNA release confers heterogeneity in Candida albicans biofilm formation
1 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Biofilm formation by Candida albicans has shown to be highly variable and is directly associated with pathogenicity and poor clinical outcomes in patients at risk. The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that the extracellular DNA release by C. albicans is strain dependent and is associated with biofilm heterogeneity. RESULTS: Initially, biofilm formed by C. albicans high biofilm formers...
