Study on the impact of biofilm formation by Candida albicans in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis on drug susceptibility

BackgroundVulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent VVC (RVVC) are common fungal infections in women, often complicated by recurrence and treatment resistance. This study explores how Candida albicans biofilm formation influences antifungal susceptibility and resistance gene expression in clinica...
