Rifampicin induced virulence determinants increase Candida albicans biofilm formation

2013-04-08

Abstract excerpt

Increased intravenous catheter use has been paralleled by increased bacterial and yeast bloodstream infection. Biofilm formation, which is associated with the cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) phenotype, represents a major pathogenicity strategy of Candida albicans , becoming especially important in the colonization of intravascular medical devices. Increasing evidence shows the induction of virulence factors in...
