The arrangement of dual-species biofilms of and can be modified by the medium: effect of Voriconazole.

Both and have been isolated from different types of infections over the years. They have the ability to form communities of microorganisms known as biofilms. It has been demonstrated that the medium employed in studies may affect the biofilm development.

The inhibitory effect of photodynamic therapy on dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida krusei can be determined by Candida albicans/Candida krusei ratio.

Candida krusei and Candida albicans present the ability to form communities of microorganisms called biofilms. Biofilms can be composed of a single species or more and are an important virulence factor. The inhibition of C.

Effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using toluidine blue on dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Candida krusei.

Background: Although Candida albicans is the most frequent etiological agent of candidiasis, it has been reported a sizable number of infections related to the non-albicans Candida (NAC) species, Candida krusei. In addition, dual biofilms (biofilms composed by two species) may easily occur in vivo, becoming even more challenging the treatment of an infection. The fungicide effect of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), using toluidine blue O (TBO) on both C.
