Cell surface hydrophobicity and biofilm formation of candida yeast species in different culture media

Cell surface adhesion is considered an essential step in the spread, infection and persistence of Candida yeasts in the host. Their ability to adhere on biotic and abiotic surfaces depends on several factors, including hydrophobicity. Once attached, these yeasts are capable of growing in biofilms, w...
