Biofilm Formation and Effect of Caspofungin on Biofilm Structure of Candida Species Bloodstream Isolates

Candida biofilms are microbial communities, embedded in a polymeric matrix, growing attached to a surface, and are highly recalcitrant to antimicrobial therapy. These biofilms exhibit enhanced resistance against most antifungal agents except echinocandins and lipid formulations of amphotericin B. In...
