These biofilms are difficult to treat, which often results in the necessity to physically remove the implant from the patient. Furthermore, C. glabrata is an important cause of invasive infections associated with high mortality rates, as it becomes easily resistant to the current antifungal drugs. Pathogens continuously ...
