How does temperature trigger biofilm adhesion and growth in Candida albicans and two non‐Candida albicans Candida species?

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Biofilm formation on biotic and abiotic surfaces is finely regulated by genetic factors but also by oxygen concentration, pH, temperature and other environmental factors, already extensively explored for bacterial biofilms. Much less is known about fungal biofilm, that is considered a virulence factor for Candida pathogenic species among the few fungal species able to grow and survive at high...
