Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin Biofilms Produce Antifungal-Tolerant Persister Cells

Persister cells are metabolically inactive dormant cells that lie within microbial biofilms. They are phenotypic variants highly tolerant to antimicrobials and, therefore, associated with recalcitrant infections. In the present study, we investigated if Trichosporon asahii and T. inkin are able to p...
