Figure 1

Scanning electron microscopy images of wild type Candida albicans biofilms developed in vivo in the denture model (left panel) and in the subcutaneous model (right panel). Elements such as hyphal cells (h), yeast cells (y), bacterial cells (b), host cells (hc) and catheter lumen wall (lw) are highlighted. Images were adapted from the work of Nett et al. [67], and S. Kucharíková and P. Van Dijck (MCB Laboratory, VIB, K.U. Leuven, unpublished data), respectively.
