Title: Bionanomaterials: current developments to prevent biofilm formation by <i>Candida</i> species
Abstract: Biofilms formed by Candida species are a leading cause of high mortality in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. The factors involved in biofilm formation are characteristic of each species of Candida and the chemical composition of the implanted device. Understanding the mechanisms by which these pathogens adhere to these devices requires bringing together tools from biology, nanoscience and material science. This chapter presents an overview of some of the biomaterials used to manufacture medical devices, the influence of their chemical composition on the formation of biofilms, and the use of nanobiotechnology in the development of new materials or application for treatment.
