Studies of biofilms and phenotypic characteristics of Candida fungi by E. M. Lenchenko, N. P. Sachivkina

“…Yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida are causative agents of the infectious pathology of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, urogenital tracts and skin of mammals, sepsis, and disseminated infection in birds. The search and testing of multilevel algorithms for biofilm identification when exposed to chemotherapeutic and disinfectant drugs for blocking the synthesis or destruction of the intercellular matrix in the development of superficial, deep and systemic candidiasis of animals are relevant for developing and improving diagnostic and antiepidemic measures. …”
