Adhesion is an important first step in colonization and pathogenesis for Candida. Here, an in vitro assay is described to measure adhesion of C. parapsilosis isolates to immobilized proteins under fluid shear. A multichannel microfluidics device is used to compare multiple samples in parallel, followed by quantification using fluorescence imaging.
