Carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA): an in vitro investigation of a novel membrane active antiseptic agent against Candida albicans biofilms

Carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) is a heat stable low molecular weight, water soluble, cationic, colloidal material with proposed therapeutic properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of CHD-FA against Candida albicans, and to characterise its mode of action....
