The development of mycotic colonization of the base surface with further biodegradation of acrylic plastics is currently of undoubted interest. The oral cavity is a favorable ecological niche for colonization by fungi and their subsequent possible invasion into the epithelium of the oral mucosa. The method of modulation interference laser microscopy is of considerable interest to researchers in medicine in the context of obtaining the necessary information about the morphological characteristics of microbial cells and the microbiome community as a whole during the colonization of a certain ecological niche in the human body. Purpose of the study: to analyze the microrelief of the biofilm of yeast-like fungi of the species Candida albicans of base plastics of the hot type of polymerization using the method of laser modulation interference microscopy. An experimental study was carried out in order to study biofilms of yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida on samples of basic plastics, an image of a biofilm of yeast-like fungi of the species Candida albicans was obtained on the surface of a plastic of a hot type of polymerization (polymethyl methacrylate) in the visualization of the phase portrait, a description of its horizontal and vertical bioprofile. As a result of the research, the heterogeneous structure of the biofilm was determined, due to the different density and accumulation of cells along the surface, the characteristics of the surface were established in accordance with the roughness criteria. The microrelief parameters on a separately arbitrarily selected section line allow one to determine the characteristics of the biofilm in the required area and make it possible to judge the nature of its formation in a certain biological niche.

Aim: Previous studies have shown the important relationships between Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans in post-treatment endodontic disease (PTED). However, the fungal-bacterial interactions and their possible functional routes are less understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from C.

Purpose: The most frequently used surgical procedures for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR), as well as single- or two-stage revision arthroplasty. The choice of surgery is made depending on the full maturation of the biofilm layer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biofilm formation and microbial growth using common PJI-causing agents and compare its development on the implant surface.

Background And Aims Of The Study: Fluctuations in environmental temperature and humidity significantly affect human physiology and disease manifestation. In the Lingnan region of China, high summer temperatures and humidity often cause symptoms like diminished appetite, sticky tongue coating, sticky stool, unsatisfactory defecation, lethargy, and joint heaviness. These are referred to as "Dampness Syndrome" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
