Removal of candida albicans from water by adhesion to aminophosphorous groups grafted onto poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene)

Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen capable of causing opportunistic infections that may be lethal. The purpose of this study was to establish the removal percent of a Candida albicans culture from a water solution by using some polymers with antimicrobial activity. The mechanism of action is based on yeast adhesion on aminophosphorous active groups
