Biofilm. formation by. pathogens in patients. was considered. a health problem. that leads to the emergence. of "antibiotic-resistant" isolates."Candida albicans" is the most .common. and dangerous. fungal pathogen. could form. biofilm in. various. sites of human body. Here , weinvestigated. the role of "bcr1 gene" on biofilm formation. as well as its correlation. with "persister cells" by using. crystal violet. stainingassay. and also quantification. of bcr1 gene expression. using "RT-PCR" . The results confirmed. the role of bcr1 gene. throughout formedstrong biofilm. in isolates that include this gene in their genome.. Furthermore, there was connection. between the presence of bcr1 gene.and the presence of .persister cells. It is an increasingly researched topic nowadays due to the increasing resistance of biofilm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
