Bacterial communities build biofilms to protect themselves from external threats, such as antibiotics. But researchers are now taking aim at these bacterial shields. “Biofilms can be good ...

The team previously showed that emericellipsin A (EmiA) had strong activity against pathogenic fungal and yeast infections ... infections tend to form biofilms – a collective colonization ...

Peripheral blood cultures detect the presence of bacteria or yeast in the bloodstream but ... [51] They found that CVCs causing CRBSI had significant biofilm colonization in 1, 2, and 3 lumens ...

Their deposition thus provides attachment sites for colonisation by potentially pathogenic organisms such as the fungus Candida albicans, which is the cause of most yeast infections in humans. Our ...
