Our classical perception of microorganisms as unicellular life forms is almost entirely based on the pure-culture mode of growth; since microbial suspensions can be diluted to a single cell and studied in liquid culture, this mode of growth has traditionally predominated in the study of microbial

- Candida species: current epidemiology, pathogenicity, biofilm formation, natural antifungal products and new therapeutic options. (2013, background): “Availability to the inside of medical devices, such as central and peripheral catheters, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis units and intracardiac prosthetic valves, facilitates biofilm formation (Mukherjee & Chandra, 2004; Chandra et al., 2001; Ramage et al., 2005).”
- Essential Oils and Antifungal Activity (2017, background): “Thus, Candida is the object of intense study, due to its phenotypic adaptation within the biofilm [93,94], and new synthetic drugs and derivatives are developed and studied to combat its infection.”
- A simple and reproducible 96-well plate-based method for the formation of fungal biofilms and its application to antifungal susceptibility testing (2008, background): “Many different groups of investigators have demonstrated that fungal biofilms show increased levels of resistance against various classes of antifungal drugs, most notably azoles and polyene”
