Abstract

Biofilm kulat mempunyai kepentingan klinikal yang tinggi. Salah satu yang ketara adalah biofilm Candida albican yang berupaya untuk memulakan jangkitan baru atau jangkitan semula kira-kira 40% daripada jangkitan kandidiasis yang disebarkan. Ciri utama biofilm yang membezakannya daripada sel –sel plankton adalah toleransi yang tinggi terhadap rawatan serta sistem imun. Fungal biofilms have high clinical importance. A notable one is Candida albicans biofilm, whose importance is attributed to its ability to institute new and reoccurring infections, accounting for about 40% of disseminated candidiasis. The major characteristic of biofilms which differentiates it from planktonic cells is its high tolerance to treatments and the immune system.
