Strain-specific thermotolerance, UV-C tolerance, and biofilm formation on clinically relevant plastic substrates in the emerging opportunistic pathogen <i>Rhodotorula mucilaginosa</i>
2026-08-20
Abstract excerpt
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen increasingly associated with catheter-related bloodstream infections. Although biofilm formation is considered a major virulence trait for R. mucilaginosa , factors contributing to biofilm persistence on medical devices remain poorly understood. Here, we characterized the thermotolerance, biofilm formation, UV resistance, and cell surface hydro...
