DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.05.096
Abstract: The lack of deep knowledge of plant pathogenic fungal biofilms is reflected in the few existing environmental-friendly options for controlling fungal plant disease. Indeed, chemical fungicides still dominate the market but present-day concerns about their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2018.07.018
Abstract: Hemodialysis, which is a kidney failure treatment that uses hemodialysis machine, dialyzer, dialysis solution, catheters, and needles, favors biofilm formation. This study evaluates whether Aspergillus, Candida, and Fusarium can form biofilm in dialysis fluids. Biofilms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/microbiolspec.funk-0024-2016
Abstract: We focus this article on turning a biofilm inside out. The "inside" of the biofilm comprises the individual biofilm-related phenotypes, their environmental drivers and genetic determinants, and the coordination of gene functions through transcriptional regulators.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.981454
Abstract: Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen in humans, implicated in hospital-acquired infections, secondary infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, and is a significant contributor to the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden. Early… read more here.
