Summary of in vivo Candida-associated biofilm models

In vivo models	Animal species	Features
Catheter-associated in vivo models, models utilizing amphogel coating on catheters and subcutaneous catheter models	Rat, mouse, rabbit	Rat and mouse models have advantage over rabbit models because they have a relatively low cost in setting, are easy to handle, and mimic the clinical conditions of rabbit models
Denture-associated models	Rat	Low cost, mimic clinical conditions
Contact lens in vivo models	Mouse	Low cost and clinically relevant
Models using biotic surfaces such as oral cavity, oropharyngeal mucosa, tongue, vaginal mucosa	Mouse	Low setting cost, mimic clinical conditions
