Recent Advances and Opportunities in the Study of Candida albicans Polymicrobial Biofilms

Abstract excerpt

It is well known that the opportunistic pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans , can form polymicrobial biofilms with a variety of bacteria, both in vitro and in vivo , and that these polymicrobial biofilms can impact the course and management of disease. Although specific interactions are often described as either synergistic or antagonistic, this may be an oversimplification. Polymicrobial biofilms are complex...
