Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus Form Polymicrobial Biofilms: Effects on Antimicrobial Resistance
Open accessAbstract
Candida albicans readily forms biofilms on the surface on indwelling medical devices, and these biofilms serve as a source of local and systemic infections. It is estimated that 27% of nosocomial C. albicans bloodstream infections are polymicrobial, with Staphylococcus aureus as the third most common organism isolated in conjunction with C. albicans . We tested whether S. aureus and C. albicans are able to form a polymicrobial biofilm. Although S. aureus formed poor monoculture biofilms in serum, it formed a substantial polymicrobial biofilm in the presence of C. albicans . In terms of architecture, S. aureus formed microcolonies on the surface of the biofilm, with C. albicans serving as the underlying scaffolding. In addition, S. aureus matrix staining revealed a different phenotype in polymicrobial versus monomicrobial biofilms, suggesting that S. aureus may become coated in the matrix secreted by C. albicans. S. aureus resistance to vancomycin was enhanced within the polymicrobial biofilm, required viable C. albicans , and was in part mediated by C. albicans matrix. However, the growth or sensitivity to amphotericin B of C. albicans is not altered in the polymicrobial biofilm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
