Effect of glucose and glutamine on biofilm formation by several Candida species

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Biomédica (área de especialização em Engenharia Clinica) ; Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor that contributes greatly to Candida species pathogenicity. This virulence factor is dependent on several environmental factors including the available nutrients. Candida species survive in the oral environment through the catabolism of sugars, as glucose,...

Influence of glucose on Candida parapsilosis virulence factors

Candida parapsilosis is a pathogenic fungus responsible for a high number of oral candidosis, predominantly due to the growth in a biofilm form on indwelling medical devices. One of the major contributions for C. parapsiloisis virulence is its versatility to adapt to a variety of different environmental factors. The development of Candida biofilms has important clinical repercussions because of their resistance...
