Farnesol Anti-biofilm Activity against Candida albicans Reference and Mutant Strains

Adriana da Fonte Porto Carreiro, Sarah Florindo de Figueiredo Guedes, Beatriz Helena Dias Panariello, Paula Ventura da Silveira, Malvin N. Janal & Simone Duarte · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2018

Introduction: Farnesol is known as a quorum sensing (QS) molecule that has a role as an anti-biofilm agent. It is produced by C. albicans and blocks the morphological transition from yeasts to hyphae. The hyphal development is important for the formation of substantial biofilm bi...
