In vitro Demonstration of Biofilm Formation on Catheter Materials by Candida Species Isolated from Blood Stream Infections
Abstract: In recent years, a progressive increase in the frequency of nosocomial candidaemia has been observed. Candidaemia due to vascular catheters are on the rise. There are many associated risk factors such as the type of patient, catheter location, frequency of change of cannulae, duration of catheterization, etc. Candida species produce biofilms on synthetic materials, which facilitate adhesion of the organisms to devices and render them relatively refractory to medical therapy. …
