Talk:Candida glabrata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

frank resistance? really?

[edit] Two Points

No - not really. C. glabrata is typically resistant in a clinical setting, though in culture non-physiological concentrations of keto. or fluc. can kill them. Frank resistance implies that there is no effect on growth at any concentration. Also, I removed a line that read, "[h]owever, the formation of biofilms is very weak as compared to Candida albicans." This statement is very vague. There are more incidents of C. albicans biofilms clinically, but C. glabrata is quite capable of forming a biofilm under the right circumstances. I agree with this point in theory, but it needs to be restated in a less ambiguous way. If either of these statements are going to be reintegrated into the article, they're going to need primary literature citations, IMO. BillyBoy 07:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
