Salivary pellicles equalise surfaces’ charges and modulate the virulence of Candida albicans biofilm
28 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Numerous environmental factors influence the pathogenesis of Candida biofilms and an understanding of these is necessary for appropriate clinical management. AIMS: To investigate the role of material type, pellicle and stage of biofilm development on the viability, bioactivity, virulence and structure of C. albicans biofilms. METHODS: The surface roughness (SR) and surface free energy (SFE) of...
