Conservation and Divergence in the <italic toggle="yes">Candida</italic> Species Biofilm Matrix Mannan-Glucan Complex Structure, Function, and Genetic Control

ABSTRACT Candida biofilms resist the effects of available antifungal therapies. Prior studies with Candida albicans biofilms show that an extracellular matrix mannan-glucan complex (MGCx) contributes to antifungal sequestration, leading to drug resistance. Here we implement biochemical, pharmacologi...
