Conserved Inhibition of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Release by Clinical Candida albicans Biofilms

Conserved Inhibition of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Release by Clinical Candida albicans Biofilms

Candida albicans biofilms are difficult to eradicate due to their resistance to host defenses and antifungal drugs. Although neutrophils are the primary responder to C. albicans during invasive candidiasis, biofilms resist killing by neutrophils. Prior investigation, with the commonly used laborator...
