Study of interaction in dual-species biofilm of Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae co-isolated from peripheral venous catheter using Raman characterization mapping and machine learning algorithms.

Polymicrobial biofilm infections, especially associated with medical devices such as peripheral venous catheters, are challenging in clinical settings for treatment and management. In this study, we examined the mixed biofilm formed by Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which were co-isolated from the same peripheral venous catheter. Our results revealed that C.

In vitro activity of amphotericin B in combination with imipenem/colistin against mixed cultures of Candida spp. and Gram-negative bacteria.

A new direction of research was established due to biofilms' infections caused by a mixture of fungal and bacterial species. Diagnosis of these infections becomes more difficult and high doses of drugs are used in treatment, especially in critically ill patients. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of amphotericin B, in combination with imipenem or colistin against Candida albicans - Acinetobacter baumannii- Proteus mirabilis and Candida tropicalis - Acinetobacter baumannii -Proteus mirabilis polymicrobial biofilms.

Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, and haemolytic properties of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts from Benth. fruit.

Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiulcer, and cytotoxic properties of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts from the fruits of Tabernaemontana crassa were investigated. Four phenolic compounds, including three phenolic acids (gallic, caffeic, and chlorogenic acids) and one flavonol (rutin), were detected by HPLC-PDA. The hydroethanol extract (HE) exhibited high antioxidant activity and inhibition of haemolysis against red blood cells.

Exploring the dynamics of mixed-species biofilms involving Candida spp. and bacteria in cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that results from mutations in the gene responsible for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The airways become clogged with thick, viscous mucus that traps microbes in respiratory tracts, facilitating colonization, inflammation and infection. CF is recognized as a biofilm-associated disease, it is commonly polymicrobial and can develop in biofilms.

Evaluation of mixed biofilm production by Candida spp. and Staphylococcus aureus strains co-isolated from cystic fibrosis patients in northwest Algeria.

Cystic fibrosis patients' lungs are chronically colonized by multiple microbial species capable of forming biofilms. This study aimed to characterize the polymicrobial biofilm formed by Candida spp. and S.
