Exopolysaccharides and Biofilms
2020During infection, many fungal pathogens form biofilms within tissues or on biomedical devices. The growth of fungi within biofilms increases dramatically their resistance to both immune defences and antifungal therapies. In the last twenty years, studies have begun to shed light on many of the steps involved in biofilm synthesis and composition ...

According to the National Institute of Health of the USA, «more than 60% of all microbial infections are caused by biofilms».'This can surprise us, but it is enough to consider that common infections like those of the genito-urinary tract, infections produced by catheters, middle ear infections in children, the formation of dental plaque and gingivitis

In response to attachment to a surface, fungal cells produce biofilms, three-dimensional structures composed of cells surrounded by exopolymeric matrices. Surface attachment causes Candida albicans cells to enter a special physiological state in which they are highly resistant to antifungal drugs and express the drug efflux determinants CDR1, CDR2 and ...

The idea that bacteria grow preferentially on surfaces has come to the fore at regular intervals, for more than 150 years, whenever microbiologists have used direct methods to examine natural populations of these organisms growing in real ecosystems. In 1947, Antonie van Leuwenhoek used his primitive but effective microscope to describe aggregates of ...
