a 96 well microtiter plate-based method for monitoring formation and antifungal susceptibility testing of candida albicans biofilms

Candida albicans rimane la causa più frequente di infezioni fungine in una popolazione in espansione di pazienti compromessi e candidosi è ora la terza più comune infezione negli ospedali degli Stati Uniti. Diverse manifestazioni della candidiasi sono associati con la formazione di biofilm, sia su tessuti dell&#39;ospite e / o dispositivi medici (cateteri per esempio). Formazione di biofilm svolge negative implicazioni cliniche, come le cellule all&#39;interno del biofilm sono protetti dalla risposta immunitaria e dall&#39;azione di antimicotici. Abbiamo sviluppato un modello semplice, veloce e robusto in vitro per la formazione di C. biofilm albicans con 96 pozzetti per microtitolazione piastre, che può anche essere utilizzato per test di suscettibilità biofilm antimicotico. La lettura di questo saggio è colorimetrico, basato sulla riduzione delle XTT (un sale di tetrazolio) da cellule metabolicamente attive biofilm fungine. Un tipico esperimento dura circa 24 ore per la formazione di biofilm, con ulteriori 24 ore per i test di suscettibilità antifungina. A causa della sua semplicità e l&#39;utilizzo di materiali di laboratorio e attrezzature comunemente disponibili, questa tecnica democratizza ricerca biofilm e rappresenta un passo importante verso la standardizzazione dei test di suscettibilità antifungina di biofilm fungine.
