Relationship between Sap prevalence and biofilm formation among resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans

Abstract

Four of the <i>C. albicans</i> isolates were resistant to 3 anti-fungal drugs, strong biofilm producer, have proteolytic activity and contain either Sap9 or Sap10 or both. Conclusively, although anti-fungal resistance among the isolates was rare, a relation between the anti-fungal resistance and some major virulence factors was evidently proved in this study.
