Candida albicans Biofilms, Heterogeneity and Antifungal Drug Tolerance
Candida albicans is a pathogenic member of the human oral and gastrointestinal microbiota. Biofilms of C. albicans form on indwelling devices, such as catheters and heart valves, and recent evidence suggests that biofilms also form on the mucosal surfaces of the mouth and vagina. Biofilm infections of prosthetic devices are untreatable by antifungals and infections of the mucosa are frequently ...
متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملheterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
Heterogeneity of diffusion inside microbial biofilms determined by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy under two-photon excitation.
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) under two-photon excitation was applied successfully to characterize the penetration and diffusion capabilities of fluorescent probes (latex beads and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran) of different size and electrical charge in two models of monomicrobial biofilms with low (Lactococcus lactis biofilm) or high (Stenotrophonas maltophilia biofilm) con...
متن کاملBiofilms
Our understanding of the virulence and pathogenesis of Francisella spp. has significantly advanced in recent years, including a new understanding that this organism can form biofilms. What is known so far about Francisella spp. biofilms is summarized here and future research questions are suggested. The molecular basis of biofilm production has begun to be studied, especially the role of extrac...
