Strain-specific thermotolerance, UV-C tolerance, and biofilm formation on clinically relevant plastic substrates in the emerging opportunistic pathogen Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

Differences in thermotolerance and biofilm formation by isolate origin are document and identify biofilm formation as a major factor promoting persistence of R. mucilaginosa on clinically relevant materials and reduced susceptibility to UV-C sterilization.
