Detailed comparison of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms under different conditions and their susceptibility to caspofungin and anidulafungin
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 08/22/2011
Kucharíkova S et al. – Environmental conditions, i.e. medium and pH, can significantly affect not only biofilm architecture, but also the expression profile of several genes involved during the different stages of biofilm development. In addition, growth conditions may also influence the antifungal–susceptibility profile of fungal populations within biofilm structures. Therefore, before designing any experimental biofilm set–up, it is important to consider the potential influence of external environmental factors on Candida biofilm development.
