Biofilm formation by and antifungal susceptibility of Candida isolates from urine
Article Abstract:
Biofilm formation (BF) in urine Candida isolates and the natural history of candiduria, which causing urinary tract infection, are studied. The results have shown that BF is a stable characteristic of Candida strains that varies greatly among clinical strains and is dependent on the growth medium.

Swarming behavior of and hemolysin BL secretion by bacillus cereus
Article Abstract:
The motility behavior of and the secretion of hymolysin BL (HBL) is assessed by Bacillus cereus strains isolated from different sources. It is found that swarming differentiation by Bacillus cereus contributes to the virulence potential of this opportunistic human pathogen.
