The Dynamics of Single-Cell Nanomotion Behaviour of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a Microfluidic Chip for Rapid Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba

The fast emergence of multi-resistant pathogenic yeasts is caused by the extensive-and sometimes unnecessary-use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. To rationalise the use of broad-spectrum antifungals, it is essential to have a rapid and sensitive syst ...

Yeast Nanometric Scale Oscillations Highlights Fibronectin Induced Changes in C. albicans

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Anne-Céline Verenna Kohler, Leonardo Venturelli

Yeast resistance to antifungal drugs is a major public health issue. Fungal adhesion onto the host mucosal surface is still a partially unknown phenomenon that is modulated by several actors among which fibronectin plays an important role. Targeting the ye ...

Fungicidal activity of copper-sputtered flexible surfaces under dark and actinic light against azole-resistant Candida albicans and Candida glabrata

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Candida spp. are able to survive on hospital surfaces and causes healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). Since surface cleaning and disinfecting interventions are not totally effective to eliminate Candida spp., new approaches should be devised. Copper ( ...
