<i>Candida albicans</i> biofilms are generally devoid of persister cells

2018-09-20

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans is known for its ability to form biofilms – communities of microorganisms embedded in an extracellular matrix developing on different surfaces. Biofilms are highly tolerant to antifungal therapy. This phenomenon has been partially explained by the appearance of so-called persister cells, phenotypic variants of wild-type cells, capable of surviving very high concentrations of antimicrobial agents....
