Biofilm formation in non-C. albicans yeasts isolated from blood cultures
Original language description
Although C. albicans remains the most common fungal blood stream pathogen, the incidence of non-albicans yeasts has been approached to C. albicans incidence during last few decades. The Eighty-nine strains of non-C. albicans yeasts were isolated from blood cultures and these strains were examined for biofilm formation in this study. The biofilm formation was tested by modification of microtiter plate method. Forty-six strains were positive for biofilm formation. The relatively high percentage of biofilm-positive strains, especially in C. parapsilosis, and C. tropicalis, indicates the important role of biofilm formation as important virulence factor, because these pathogens are frequently associated with indwelling medical devices infections. Increasingincidence of this yeasts in blood stream can be explained by high frequency of using of indwelling medical devices in the few last decades. All tested strains growing in the biofilm showed higher resistance to all antifungal agents in co

Tvorba biofilmu u non-C. albicans kvasinek izolovaných z hemokultur
Czech description
Ačkoliv je C. albicans nejčastějším původcem fungálních infekcí krevního řečiště, incidence non-albicans kvasinek v posledních desetiletích vzrůstá. V průběhu 2 let Bylo z hemokultur izolováno 89 kmenů non-C. albicans kvasinek, které byly vyšetřeny na tvorbu biofilmu. Z nich 46 bylo biofilmpozitivních. Relativně vysoké procento biofilmpozitivních kmenů bylo zjištěno zejména u C. parapsilosis a u C. tropicalis. Všechny testované kmeny rostoucí ve formě biofilmu byly výrazně rezistentnější než jejich planktonické formy
