Counter-Acting <i>Candida albicans</i>-<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Mixed Biofilm on Titanium Implants Using Microbial Biosurfactants
This study aimed to grow a fungal-bacterial mixed biofilm on medical-grade titanium and assess the ability of the biosurfactant R89 (R89BS) coating to inhibit biofilm formation. Coated titanium discs (TDs) were obtained by physical absorption of R89BS. <i>Candida albicans</i>-<i>St...
