In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host
cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this …

Candida albicans is among the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota and
asymptomatically colonizes healthy individuals. However, it is also an opportunistic …

Transcriptomics technologies are the techniques used to study an organism's transcriptome,
the sum of all of its RNA transcripts. The information content of an organism is recorded in …

Candida albicans is a common fungus of the human microbiota. While generally a harmless
commensal in healthy individuals, several factors can lead to its overgrowth and cause a …

The incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly over the past decades. Very
often these infections are associated with biofilm formation on implanted biomaterials and/or …

Bacterial populations produce a small number of dormant persister cells that exhibit
multidrug tolerance. All resistance mechanisms do essentially the same thing: prevent the …

Candida species cause frequent infections owing to their ability to form biofilms—surface-
associated microbial communities—primarily on implanted medical devices. Increasingly …

Our classical perception of microorganisms as unicellular life forms is almost entirely based
on the pure-culture mode of growth; since microbial suspensions can be diluted to a single …

Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical
problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment …

For the past ten years, the developmental model of microbial biofilm formation has served as
the major conceptual framework for biofilm research; however, the paradigmatic value of this …
