Polymicrobial Biofilms of C. albicans with Bacterial Species: An Insight into Intergenus Interaction
摘要
Polymicrobial biofilms are more prevalent than reported in the clinical scenario and are more complex and harmful to the host. C. albicans, being the most prevalent Candida species causing infections, has been found to colonise and infect immunocompromised humans. C. albicans is found to interact with various bacterial species like Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, and E. coli. This chapter focuses on this intergenus interactions and associated antimicrobial resistance.
