Anti-Candidaalbicans germ tube antibodies reduce in vitro growth and biofilm formation of C. albicans.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report showing that CAGTA reduce C. albicans growth, and impair its metabolic activity and ability to form biofilm in vitro. The antigens recognized by CAGTA could be the basis for the development of immunization protocols that might protect against Candida infections.
