Candida and Staphylococcus species can cause hospital-acquired infections due to their ability to inhabit and form biofilms in the host or on abiotic surfaces in polymicrobial interactions. Despite the fact that health establishments prioritize the application of disinfection programs to minimize the risk of contamination, the literature shows little disinfectant efficiency on biofilms. I…
Candida species are associated with surface or systemic infections that challenge public health in the face of emerging resistance to antifungal agents for clinical use. Among the potential sources for new antifungal agents, we highlight the antimicrobial properties of essential oils extracted from medicinal plants and plants of the Copaifera genus. In this context, this work will aim to …
Bacteria and fungi form highly structured, often surface-associated, communities termed biofilms. Environmental factors such as pH, temperature, nutrients and oxygen availably added to genes expression, which enhanced or inhibited the metabolic pathways that have influence in adaptation of the planktonic to biofilm growth mode of microorganisms. However, interactions between bacteria-fung…
Candida species can cause hospital-acquired infections due to their ability to inhabit and form biofilms on the host or on abiotic surfaces. Despite health establishments prioritizing the application of disinfection programs to minimize the risk of contamination, the literature shows little efficiency of disinfectants in these environments, a fact related to the presence of biofilms, whic…
Among the organisms commonly found in the nosocomial environment, Staphylococcus aureus stands out, a bacteria that can break the skin barriers through wounds or surgical incisions and cause infection. Among yeast fungi, Candida species have developed survival strategies to help their persistence in different environmental niches, including the association with bacteria in the biofilms wh…
Hemodialysis is a treatment for patients with chronic renal failure. However, microbial contamination of hemodialysis fluids is a serious problem. Various chemical compounds are used for disinfection and/or sterilization, and the use of sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid being common. However, little is known about the efficacy of disinfectants on eukaryotic organisms such as fungi, s…
Candida species express virulence factors and cause infections in addition to being able to form monospecies or polymicrobial biofilms. In the mouth, the resident microbiota plays an important role in the nonspecific host resistance to exogenous pathogens. However, microbiota may also contribute to the pathogenicity of numerous clinical conditions, such as oral streptococci that secrete e…
