Synopsis

Fungal infections are mainly caused by opportunistic species of the Candida genus. These yeasts can form polymicrobial biofilms with bacteria on living or inert surfaces, including medical devices. The synergistic or antagonistic interactions within these biofilms promote virulence and resistance to antimicrobials as well as to the host's immune defenses. In response to this resistance, considerable efforts are being made to limit treatment failures. The use of antifungal-antibiotic-natural compound combinations, as well as the modification of medical device surfaces, offer promising solutions.
