Candidiasis, infections caused by Candida spp., represents one of the most common nosocomial infections afflicting an expanding number of compromised patients. Antifungal therapeutic options are few and show limited efficacy. Moreover, biofilm formation is frequently associated with different manifestations of candidiasis and further complicates therapy. Thus, there is an urgent need for new effective therapeutic agents, particularly those with anti-biofilm activity. Here we describe the development of a novel, simple, fast, economical, and highly reproducible 384-well microtiter plate model for the formation of both Candida albicans and Candida auris biofilms and its application in high-throughput screening (HTS) techniques.
