Species-specific biofilm traits and virulence gene expression in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis: a translational hypothesis

Key Points

• Biofilm traits significantly influence the expression of virulence genes, impacting treatment outcomes.
• Understanding species-specific differences in biofilm formation can guide therapeutic interventions against candidiasis.
• Assessment focuses on recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and its underlying molecular mechanisms.
• Implications highlight the need for tailored approaches to address varied pathogenic profiles.
