Biofilm Formation and Resistance to Fungicides in Clinically Relevant Members of the Fungal Genus Fusarium
Clinically relevant members of the fungal genus, Fusarium, exhibit an extraordinary genetic diversity and cause a wide spectrum of infections in both healthy individuals and immunocompromised patients. Generally, Fusarium species are intrinsically resistant to all systemic antifungals. We investigated whether the presence or absence of the ability to produce biofilms across and within Fusarium ...
متن کاملEffect of Algae and Plant Lectins on Planktonic Growth and Biofilm Formation in Clinically Relevant Bacteria and Yeasts
This study aimed to evaluate the abilities of plant and algae lectins to inhibit planktonic growth and biofilm formation in bacteria and yeasts. Initially, ten lectins were tested on Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, and C. tropicalis at concentrations of 31.25 to 250 μ g/mL. The lectins from Cratylia floribunda (CF...
متن کاملCharacterization of in vitro biofilm-associated pneumococcal phase variants of a clinically relevant serotype 3 clone.
An increasing proportion of children with acute otitis media due to Streptococcus pneumoniae have serotype 3 infections since licensure of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. These serotype 3 strains are genetically related by molecular subtyping. During otitis media with effusion and recurrent otitis media, biofilms commonly develop. Pneumococcal in vitro biofilms are comprised of...

متن کاملMicrobiological Process
Analytical microbiology may be defined as that branch of microbiology in which microorganisms are used as reagents for the quantitative determination of certain chemical compounds. The procedures used for analysis are based on the reaction of a particular microorganism to its environment. If a suitable microorganism will react with a measurable response to a certain chemical entity, an analytic...
