Surface Architecture Influences the Rigidity of <i>Candida albicans</i> Cells

Surface Architecture Influences the Rigidity of <i>Candida albicans</i> Cells

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the morphology and rigidity of the opportunistic pathogenic yeast, <i>Candida albicans</i> ATCC 10231, during its attachment to surfaces of three levels of nanoscale surface roughness. Non-polished titanium (npTi), polished titanium (...
