Biofilms are nowadays a serious problem especially with immunosuppressed patients. These highly resistant agglomerations are formed by cells which are firmly adhered to the surface. In this work, the effect of antimicrobial peptides isolated from venom reservoirs of wild bees were tested against Candida albicans biofilms. The results show that some synthetic analogues exhibit potency to kill quickly the yeast biofilm cells. On the contrary, some analogues active against planktonic cells are only little active or inactive against biofilms.
