Abstract (English)

Candida albicans is the main type of fungi able to form biofilms, which cause superficial skin and mucous membrane infections as well as invasive mycoses, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In these patients, invasive infections are often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the increase in antifungal resistance has decreased the efficacy of conventional therapies. ...

Translation of the abstract (German)

Candida albicans ist die wichtigste Pilzart, welche fähig ist, Biofilme zu bilden. Sie verursachen vor allem bei immunsupprimierten Patienten oberflächliche Haut- und Schleimhautentzündungen sowie invasive Mykosen. Bei solchen Patienten werden invasive Infektionen oft mit einer erhöhten Morbidität und Mortalität in Verbindung gebracht. Zudem hat die verstärkte antimykotische Resistenz die ...
