The ability of Candida spp. to form biofilms is crucial for its pathogenicity, and thus, it should
be considered an important virulence factor in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent …

When the terms funguria or fungal urinary tract infection are used, most physicians are
referring to candiduria and urinary tract infections due to Candida species. Other fungi …

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are a common complication associated
