Interactions of Candida albicans with other Candida spp. and bacteria in the biofilms

Aims: To study the interactions between Candida albicans and 12 other species of Candida and bacteria in biofilms. Methods and Results: The number of cells within growing biofilms in a polystyrene tube model was measured after adding C. albicans to preformed biofilms of other micro‐organisms and v...

Zusammenfassung:	Aims: To study the interactions between Candida albicans and 12 other species of Candida and bacteria in biofilms. Methods and Results: The number of cells within growing biofilms in a polystyrene tube model was measured after adding C. albicans to preformed biofilms of other micro‐organisms and vice versa. It was also measured after simultaneous biofilm formation of C. albicans and other micro‐organisms. The number of cells of C. albicans within the growing biofilms decreased significantly (P
