Microbial Biofilms: Omics Biology, Antimicrobials and Clinical Implications is a comprehensive survey of microbial biofilms and their role in human health and disease with contributions from world renowned experts in molecular microbiology, proteomics, genomics, metabolomics and infectious diseases. The book is intended to serve as a guide for students, as well as a reference for researchers, clinicians and industry professionals. The chapters cover bacterial and fungal microbiomes, and the latest omics techniques organized in a clear and up-to-date manner. One of the highlights of this book is the comprehensive information on "omics of microbial biofilms". The chapters dedicated to metagenomics, proteomics and metabolomics are designed to provide a simple and holistic review of the current knowledge and, the applications of these techniques in the field of microbial biofilms. In addition to introductory chapters on microbial biofilms and their clinical implications, subsequent chapters delve into oral biofilms, their composition, and metagenomic diversity. Thereafter, mechanisms of drug resistance in microbial biofilms are reviewed, as well as the proteomic and metabolomic characterization of this resistance. The book includes a comprehensive discussion of persister cells and host–microbial interactions on mucosal surfaces. Finally, the book concludes with a summary of novel therapeutic approaches for biofilms such as synbiotics and biogenics.

This book covers the latest data available to understand the mechanisms causing the formation of single species fungal biofilms or polymicrobial biofilms involving fungal species; specific chapters present hot topics such as resistance mechanisms and composition and role of the matrix. Moreover, it reviews updated data on biofilms that contain yeasts or filamentous fungi and develop in the human body or in water and may cause infections. The latest available data for both diagnostic and treatment of infections associated to fungi growing in biofilms is also presented. The activity of antifungal and disinfectant agents against fungal biofilms is discussed in specific chapters and future treatments on natural sources are suggested. This book bridges the gap between basic and applied research. It is the result of many years of research work done by laboratories worldwide, all known for their expertise on fungal biofilms.

Candida albicans is a frequent hospital-acquired fungal pathogen and cause of invasive candidiasis. When grown on surfaces like implanted medical devices as a biofilm, Candida is surrounded by a protective extracellular matrix, and resistant to host defenses and antifungal drugs. Neutrophils are the primary responder to fungal infections, including candidiasis. One host defense resisted by Candida biofilms are neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs consist of web-like nuclear DNA with antimicrobial proteins released to stimuli like large or aggregated pathogens. NET release entraps these pathogens, which are then killed and prevented from disseminating. The elongated hyphae and aggregated nature of C. albicans biofilm suggests NET release would be an effective way to combat this infection. However, previous work demonstrated that C. albicans biofilm inhibits NET release. Here, we examine components of C. albicans biofilm and neutrophils to determine their role in this inhibition of NET release. First, we determined that fungal morphology for biofilm formation does not play a role in inhibiting NET release to C. albicans biofilms. We grew C. albicans biofilms of clinical strains with vastly different filamentation, determining that despite differing morphologies and thickness, biofilms uniformly inhibited NET release. Next, we examined NET release phenotypes of neutrophils from patients with invasive candidiasis to confirm the clinical relevance of NET inhibition by C. albicans biofilm. We found that despite increased baseline and PMA-induced NET release relative to healthy neutrophils, these patient neutrophils released a similar amount of NETs to planktonic C. albicans, and that C. albicans biofilm still inhibited NET release. Finally, we looked at the role of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in inhibiting NET release to C. albicans biofilm, as it inhibits NET release to other stimuli. We found that PGE2 is highly present on the biofilm surface, and that PGE2 inhibitory receptor EP4 plays a role in the inhibition of NET release by C. albicans biofilm. Together, we demonstrate resilience of this inhibition to NET release by biofilms across a variety of morphologies, show the relevance of this phenotype for patients with invasive candidiasis, and illustrate the role of PGE2 as a component of this persistent inhibition.

Mycological studies of yeasts are entering a new phase, with the sequencing of multiple fungal genomes informing our understanding of their ability to cause disease and interact with the host. At the same time, the ongoing use of traditional methods in many clinical mycology laboratories continues to provide information for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. This volume reviews various aspects of pathogenic yeasts and what is known about their molecular and cellular biology and virulence, in addition to looking at clinical and laboratory findings. As each chapter is written by a leading expert in the field, this book summarizes in one volume much of the latest research on several pathogenic yeasts, including Candida, Cryptococcus, Malassezia and yeasts of emerging importance. The importance of laboratory diagnosis, antifungal susceptibility testing, antifungal resistance and yeast diseases in animals are reviewed.

Fungal infections such as candidoses can range from superficial mucous membrane infection to life-threatening systemic mycoses. Candida infections are a significant clinical problem globally due to rapid rise in compromised host populations including HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients and patients on chemotherapy. In addition, sharp increase in aging populations which are susceptible to fungal infections is expected in next few decades. Antifungal drugs are relatively difficult to develop compared to the antibacterial drugs owing to the eukaryotic nature of the cells. Therefore, only a handful of antifungal agents are currently available to treat the myriad of fungal infections. Moreover, rising antifungal resistance and host-related adverse reactions have limited the antifungal arsenal against fungal pathogens. In this research topic, we tried to update the theoretical aspects pertaining to the antifungal drug discovery i.e. proposed novel mechanisms, new drug targets and pathways. In addition, invited authors explored the new antifungal drugs derived from natural and synthetic sources which are currently under development. Contributors were encouraged to bring new insight into the antifungal drug discovery. We hope the reader may arrive at a general consensus on the possible strategies to combat ever increasing ubiquitous fungal infection in this new century.
