<i>Candida albicans</i> biofilms display markedly increased antifungal resistance, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the signature profiles of <i>C. albicans</i> planktonic cells and biofilms in response to caspofungin (CAS) by mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics. We found that <i>C. albicans</i> biofilms were twofold more resistant to CAS with reference to planktonic cells. Notably, 9.6% of <i>C. albicans</i> biofilm cells survived the lethal treatment ...[more]
