Microbes like bacteria or yeast have different ways of living; they are able to live like planktonic cells or in more dangerous form in adherence to surfaces or interfaces, where are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances that they can produce. Biofilm allows protection for the microbial cells from attacks by the immunity system as well as from the effect of antibiotics [1]. Therefore, study of biofilms is important for clinical research. It may help to develop more efficient treatment strategies for biofilm infections. Here we investigate the extracellular matrix of yeast Candida parapsilosis and Candida albicans.
